PP389 Mermaid Kisses

I love unicorns but have no stamps with them. One day maybe!

But so happy I do have a mermaid set! It is called Magical Mermaid.

I say often " If you can be a mermaid, be a mermaid!"

I love coloring her and do not mind fussy cutting her out either.

After stamping my mermaid in Memento Tuxedo Black,

I colored her with my Stampin Blends markers in Light Pink Pirouette,

Daffodil Delight, Pool Party and Bermuda Bay.

But I think making this under the sea background was more fun!

I started with a piece of Sahara Sand cut 4" by 5 1/4".

  I stamped the shell bits on the bottom three times in Early Espresso. 

I stamped the seaweed a few times on each side then I started the sponging!

I used Sand on the bottom and then Bermuda Bay going heavy up the sides

 and light toward the center.

I stamped the sentiment in Espresso. I used the new 

Under The Sea framelits for the extra plants/seaweed plus

the little starfish.  I cut the starfish in Daffodil Delight and drew

the lines with an Espresso marker.

I finished it off by placing my background on a Bermuda Bay base.

Love the challenge and hope you can play along
