Alana - an amazing mermaid card for a young girl
Create this amazing undersea scene using stamps, Brushos, faux bleaching, and twinkling heat embossing
Spritz the outer edges of a 14cm square of watercolour card with water, sprinkle Gamboge Brusho powder onto the corners, and turquoise and ultramarine around the edges.
Pat any colour from the centre of the panel, spritz again if you want to achieve a lighter colour and dry using a heat tool.
Stamp Alana onto the centre of the panel using black ink, sprinkle embossing powder over her tail, tap off any excess and heat set.
Stamp Sea Bubbles around Alana using Deep Lagoon and Spanish Moss inks. Stamp the Ocean Flowers in the bottom-left corner using Deep Lagoon ink.
Ink up the Shoal of Fish stamp using Deep Lagoon ink, stamp onto scrap paper then stamp onto the right-hand side of the panel and repeat to create a background.
Use the same method from Step 5 to stamp a sentiment background onto the panel using Spanish Moss ink. Add highlights to the scene using a white gel pen, mat the panel onto white and black cardstock layers before securing to the card front to finish.
