Foiled Mermaid Card for MerMay

Wednesday, May 6th, 2020

Each May artists on Instagram create mermaid themed projects for #MerMay. I love mermaids so I try to create at least one mermaid card each May. This one was made using a digital stamp and a Glaminator Foiling Machine. I love the shimmer foils can add to digital stamps. It also makes them easy to color because the foiling can’t smear.

Mer-May is Coming to an End

Mer-May is Coming to an End

Here are my last Mermaid themed cards for Mer-May. I’ve made two more card using the Seas the Day stamps and dies from Hello Sweetums. They are an Australian based company but not to worry if you’re in the US you can get them on-line at Simon Says Stamp and Butterfly Reflections Ink.

For my first card shown above I created a fun scene inspired by The Little Mermaid during the “Under the Sea” scene, using the seaweed to create a wreath around my mermaid adding in all the sea creatures and shells swimming around. I colored my images with alcohol based markers and white heat embossed my sentiment.

Mer-May is Coming to an End

For my next card I wanted it to look like you were looking out of a porthole on a submarine at a mermaid swimming by and being a Beatles fan I used yellow cardstock for a Yellow Submarine. I made my porthole with 2 concentric circle dies and brads. Opening the card shows the entire underwater scene inside on an ink blended background with torn cardstock sand. I colored my images with alcohol based markers adding touches with a white gel pen.
