Elaine Cox White Leaf Mermaid

Hi Everyone,

For my post today I decided to play with Elaine Cox's White Leaf Mermaid from Plate#48. Not only did I use Copics to color this wonderful image, I also used my Prismacolor markers for the rock, Twinkling H2O's for the background and some Spica Glitter pens for the vines, leaves and the fish. I then finished off the image panel by applying a glass effect gel with a spatula, spreading the gel unevenly over the whole panel to give that impression of water.

Besides using ribbon, I created 'shavings' from card stock scraps to give the card a little more texture. I just adhered these 'shavings' underneath the stamped panel.

It really never ceases to amaze me how much fun it is to play with all of the whimsical and magical images from Sweet Pea Stamps. Here's one final look at the finished card and note, lol, I did not even mention that there are a few (ahem) goof ups. Mental note to myself, can not use an iron to speed up drying time on gloss gel :-).

Thanks for stopping by and don't forget to have fun with these awesome stamps from Sweet Pea Stamps!
