Pure Innocence Mermaid



Hi everyone.  Today is the start of the newest challenge from Addicted to Stamps & More - Challenge #40 - Photo Inspiration.  Here's the photo:


The photo above has so much inspiration!!  There's the water, relaxing in a comfy chair, summer time, cold drinks ... or maybe the gorgeous colors will inspire you.

I used one of our sponsor's adorable images and a few dies to create a water scene ... what's your inspiration?? :)








Stamps:  Pure Innocence 038 (Heather Ellis); sentiment (Bloomin Marvelous - SU!)
Paper:  White (Neenah), Pacific Point, Crumb Cake, Wild Wasabi (SU!); Light Gray (unknown)
Ink:  Bashful Blue, Wild Wasabi, Basic Gray (SU!); Copics:  E000, E00, E01, W4, R20, Y21, YR24, V09
Accessories & Tools:  Big Shot, Tiny Bubbles Embossing Folder (Cuttlebug), Wave die (MFT), Puffy Cloud dies (Memory Box), sponges, clear stickles, Stamp-a-ma-jig, glue, adhesives, and dimensionals



The background sky (clouds) were sponged using a hand-made, randomly sized scalloped template that I cut from cardstock.  The "rock" is two large clouds, glued together and then sponged with dark gray.

Pure Innocence was printed onto Neenah white, colored with copics and fussy cut.  I paper piece Wild Wasabi cardstock after running it through with the Tiny Bubbles embossing (sponged more Wild Wasabi on top for definition).

Clear stickles were added for some bling :)


Here's a close-up:




I hope you'll join us for this fun challenge.  Check out the other fabulous creations by the Design Team at ATS&M!

    Love how you made rock from clouds! And the stickles looks just like that sparkle at the water's edge.
