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.
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.

I’m so excited to share with you a card using some adorable new stamps 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. I made this card with their Seas the Day stamps, matching dies and Stargazer stencil using Arteza Brush Pen to watercolor.

I used to love Sweet November rubber stamps but they stopped making them a few years ago. But I recently found out they are offering digital stamps over at 7 Kids Crafts! I got two new images Gully the Seagull and Talise the Mermaid, so cute! I used them on a card with a cool colored pencil and blender pen technique I learned from Simon Hurley.
