It's time for a new Color Challenge at Splitcoaststampers and I am hosting this week! I chose Balmy Blue, Night of Navy and Lemon Lime Twist, with a dessert option to create an ocean scene or make a masculine card.
I chose these colors with the intention of making an ocean scene after recently acquiring one of the awesome From the Vault stamp sets by Hero Arts. I was totally smitten with the mermaid in the set, using her in coordination with another HA ocean scene stamp set.
The background panel was lightly ink blended with Tumbled Glass and Chipped Sapphire inks, using a white gel pen to create the look of ripples in the water. The sailboat and sentiment were stamped in black ink, then the panel die cut to a size to fit inside a navy frame.
The clouds were die cut and adhered to the panel, the overhanging bits trimmed off. Separately the mermaid was stamped and colored with Copic markers, plus I used a light gray marker to add shading to the clouds. The frame was layered four times to add some dimension, adhered to the card base, then the main panel inserted inside the frame. I intended to add some sparkle to the mermaid tail but forgot as I was in a rush to photo the card.
Thanks for visiting!
