I fell in love with this sweet mermaid. I used the Tropical Mermaid Alana digital stamp set for this card. I sized and printed her out in the pre-colored version. Perfect! Here is the card I made using this really fun image!

I printed a second image too, along with the sentiment that we'll see next. I die cut the tail of the second image into a circle, mounted it onto a mini Action Wobble and mounted it above her for some dimension and to allow her tail to flick back and forth! It was really fun to flick her tail and watch her kinda dance. I also fussy cut part of her hair, covered it with Versamark Ink, then sprinkled on Clear Detail embossing powder and heat set it. I repeated this step several times and then on the final layer, I sprinkled on some Spring Willow embossing powder. I didn't cover the whole image, I just wanted some highlights in her hair. I heat set it a final time, and the Spring Willow embossing powder kinda marbleizes into the layers of Clear Detail embossing powder below it.

I also printed out one of the sentiments from this stamp set. I die cut it into a heart, and repeated the same Clear Detail layers as noted above. Then, I swiped more Versamark Ink pad along the outer edge of the heart and sprinkled on some more Spring Willow embossing powder, and heat set it again. This created a bit of a frame around the hear which was so pretty! While I was making all these layers, I also added in some Silver Pearl embossing powder on the shell, and heat set it. This gave the shell some sparkle and depth, but it was hard to capture in the photos.

Okay, I think my new FAVORITE embossing powder is Caribbean ... I repeated the layered Clear Detail embossing powder on some swirls that I die cut. Then, the final layer was a light sprinkling of Caribbean. I did just enough to get some color on the swirl but not covering it completely. I heat set it, and boy oh boy was it gorgeous! The colors are amazing and so gorgeous!!!! And, to frame up the edges of the card panels, adhered a strip of 1/8" "Tear-ific" Tape along the edges, and burnished in some Ocean glitter. Such a beautiful glitter!

I also did some swirls in the same marble technique but used the Ocean embossing powder ... which might be my other NEW favorite! Here is a close up of the beautiful blue tones in this embossing powder. Swoon! I also added a lot of dots around the card to make a lot of water bubbles. I made them with Caribbean Ocean Crystal Drops by Nuvo.

I hope you enjoy these new stamps! Now, you get to continue hopping along when you go to Jess's blog. I know you will LOVE what she has in store for you. She makes really FUN and GORGEOUS cards!!

Thanks for stopping by. Have a magical day!
