Artisan Display Stamper Blog Hop: Day 4

Oooo, what is Day 4 going to bring us? I hope there is room in your brain for the inspiration coming your way 😊

I am back with more of with Message in a Bottle! This mermaid is soooo adorable, you may see it a few times here 😉

• I started with a piece of watercolor paper, sponged on Powder Pink, Tranquil Tide, and Fresh Fig. Then spritzed it with water, and dried with the heat tool. I added a swish of Clear Wink of Stella to the center. This was then die cut with the largest square Stitched Shapes framelit. 
• Then the mermaid was stamped in Archival Black ink on a scrap of watercolor paper. Then colored with and Aqua-painter and Soft Suede, Powder Pink, Fresh Fig, and Tranquil Tide. A little more Clear Wink of Stella adds some shimmer. It is much more shimmery in real life....then I fussy cut the mermaid and adhered her to the square with a dimensional.
• A 4"x5¼" panel of Thick Whisper White was embossed with the Seaside embossing folder.
• The sentiments were stamped on the edge of a Whisper White scrap, then trimmed off with paper trimmer, then dovetailed. 
• Then square was adhered with dimensionals to the embossed panel, then the sentiment strips were adhered with Fast Fuse. Then stitched around the whole thing. This was then adhered to a Thick Whisper White card base. 

I created a video for this technique! Check it out :)

Check out that shimmer!! I love this card. I may have to pet it for a while before I send it to anyone...

Now, if you started at the beginning, I am the last stop.  If not, keep going! There are lots more ideas waiting for you 😀
