I won these wonderful stamps in an Allsorts challenge recently (thanks Brenda! allsortschallenge), they arrived yesterday and I couldn't wait to use them. For the background I used some card I had bubbled several years ago using food colouring (google for tutorials on this technique). How appropriate are the bubbles? It's easy and makes a pretty background. I stamped the mermaid and her fishy friend using Versafine Onyx ink, using off-the-page technique, and inked the edges with DI's. Some of her scales are coloured in pinks and lavenders, Stickles on scales and in her hair for sparkle.

Sentiment: Woodware
Also: DI's, Copics, food colouring, Stickles.

This is just beautiful Carol, the little hints of sparkle really do give the impression of scales (never met a Mermaid but assuming they have scales!). So pleased you liked your prize and more so that you have shared your first creation using your prize. Many thanks as always for joining us at Allsorts.
