It is my turn to choose the theme for our new challenge here at Cardz 4 galz and I chose a seascape. I will also be choosing the winners for this challenge and am excited to see what you all come up with.

I began my card by swiping different blues onto a panel for the background and then I die cut the aperture on another panel using a Memory Box die. Using a Dina Wakeley stencil I added a touch of Tumbled Glass ink to the panel for the illusion of waves. I had some ephemera in a package so I chose some that I thought would look good in the scene I imagined. The mermaid was from an unbranded die that I cut twice and glued together for some stability. I cut another one from some copper glitter CS and cut the tail at the waist to add on top of the other. Ohuhu pens were used to colour her body, hair and shell and then I used a gold Sakura giitter pen in her hair and a silvery one on the shell. Some Pops of Color dots were added to her waist, tail and for a necklace. I made a hole in the anchor so I could add some twine to make a rope and this was added as you see. A fallout from another project became some seaweed in the background and an unused wave die cut was added behind the opening at the bottom. Using foam tape the top portion was added to the card front. I also added a few bubbles for added interest. For now I’ve chosen to leave off a sentiment. I’ll decide on that when I figure out who will be getting the card.

Thanks for stopping by and also for any comments you may leave. They are always appreciated. I look forward to seeing your creations in our gallery.
