Shaker mermaid treasure mix

If you have not seen yet Sweet November Stamps have come out with some new shaker/ sequin mixes! This is one of them called Mermaid treasure mix. and as you can see, as well as the gorgeous sequins there are also loads of adorable little tiny mermaids in it!

To make this card I used the brilliant Sweet November Stamps digi stamp called Mutiny highseas. For the background I used a clear stamp from the Guppies stamp set.

I used the following copics to colour her and the background:

Skin: E33, E11,E00

Hair: Y28, Y26, Y13

Tail and red feather: R89,R37, R35

Top and hat: W9, W7, W5, Y08

Bottle: G28, G14, E39 (cork E84)

Water: BG01,BG000,B02,B00

Sand: E43, E42

Seaweed:G28,G09,YG03

Urchin: R24,R22,R21

Fish and starfish: YR16, Y18

Coral:E71, E70

For the actual shaker frame I used Heffy Doodle stitched square dies and extra thick acetate. Then foam tape to give the gap between the coloured in back ground and the acetate window. 

The sentiment is from another of the Sweet November Stamps clear stamp sets called Lynn.

I am entering this card for the following challenges:

May waves of happiness wash over you

It is almost time for another clear stamp Mermay release from the amazing Sweet November Stamps. Next weekend there will be a whole load of new mermaid and seaside related clear stamps. Before that though I wanted to show off one of the stamps That you can already get. This is Lynn she comes with feet or this mermaid tail so you could have her either way on your creation. 

I loved creating this card. I started by die cutting the white card with the Heffy Doodle Whimsically wonky dies to create the layer to work with. I then masked off a line across the card using Heffy memo tape before inking my blue line with salty ocean and a touch of faded jeans distress inks. Then I flicked water over it before adding some white splatters from picket fence distress spray stain. For even more depth I added a few silver crystals nuvo drops. 

The sentiment is from the Mermee set #2 stamp set. Then I stuck my little Lynn on top of my inking breaking out of the blue inked line just a bit. I coloured her using copics.

Come back later if you want to see a sneak peek of one of the new Mermay clear stamp sets that will be available next weekend (20th May 2023)

 I am entering this card for the following challenges:
