Hello everyone. I am excited to be guest designing (GD) at AAA Cards this fortnight for their game #196 - Two Quarters + optional twist Favourite Colours.
My favourite colour is blue, so I decided to do a water scene. I thought about making it monochromatic, but ended up adding pops of colour… I do love a good rainbow after all, and almost turned it into a rainbow colour scheme. 😂 Anyway, I used Mermaid Kisses from SugarPea Designs to create my card.
On a stitched A2 size (4.25”x5.5”) panel that was die cut from Xpress It cardstock, the right half (2-1/8”) was masked off. The bottom left quadrant was masked off next, leaving the top left quadrant open to stamp the mermaid with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. Coloured her in with Copic markers then masked her to blend Tumbled Glass distress ink (DI) over a cloud stencil from Honey Bee Stamps Outdoor Scene Builder to create the sky.
Masked the top left quadrant next to work on the water scene below. Ink blended Salty Ocean and Prize Ribbon DI then splattered with water and blot with a paper towel to give it texture and movement. Stamped the seaweed, coral and fish with Versafine Onyx Black ink. Dried the panel with my heat tool before heat embossing the sentiment with white embossing powder. Stamped the bottom of the rock with Memento London Fog ink to unify the scenes. Embellished with a few clear Fairy Drops from Memory Box to serve as bubbles to finish.
I want to thank Jane and the AAA Cards team for having me. For the guidance on what the challenge entails and to see the wonderful inspirations from the design team, click HERE. Thank you for stopping by.
