Mer-May is Coming to an End

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.

The latest Lawnscaping challenge theme is “Don’t forget the inside”. I usually do andĀ just stamp a sentiment on the inside of my cards šŸ™‚ On the front of the card I used my SilhouetteĀ to cutĀ anĀ SVG from Lettering Delights, it’s part of a submarine, I just enlarged the porthole and cut only it out. I added grey brads for the bolts andĀ a clear transparency sheetĀ underneath for the “glass”. On the inside isĀ the dolphin from the Lawn Fawn “CrittersĀ of the Sea” set,Ā along with bubbles and the sentiment.
