And here are some pictures of my card:

I used the following Zig markers (along with a water brush) to paint the images: Dark Brown, Brown, Violet, Light Violet, Yellow, Light Brown, Orange, Olive Green, and Light Gray.  I also added some sequins from my stash.  What do you think?

Well, that's it from me today.  Thanks so much as always for stopping by.  Big hugs!

Video Tutorial: Copic Coloing Mermaids with a Brand New Stamp Set from Craftin' Desert Divas

Hi everyone!  I hope you are all having a fabulous weekend.  I have a new video tutorial and a couple cards to share today using some adorable mermaid stamps from a brand new soon to be released stamp set from Craftin' Desert Divas.  Here's my video showing how I colored one of the sweet mermaid images with copics:

To see the video I already did on the underwater background scene, see this video here:



The amazing stamp set is called Mermaid Lagoon.  Here's the complete set:

Here are some pictures of today's cards:

Copics Used: V01, V04, V06, V09, R85, W2, W4, W6, Y35, Y38, E18, G21, G24, G28, E21, E23, E25, E29, E000, E00, E21, E11, E04, R20.  I used the Francy Frame Dies to cut out the rectangle.  See video above for how I did the underwater background scene with my Gansai Tambi watercolor paints.


Here's another card I created using this adorable set:

For this card, I also used the Francy Frame Dies to cut out the rectangles.  I used watercolor cardstock and Gansai Tambi pearlescent paints to create the shimmery background.  I used copics to color the mermaid and sea weed.  Copics used: E21, E23, E25, E29, E000, E00, E21, E11, E04, R20, Y35, Y38, E18, BG11, BG13, BG15, BG18, G21, G24, G28.  The mound of sand she is sitting on was cut from some brand new soon to be released sea dies from Craftin' Desert Divas.  I cut it out with Bristol Smooth cardstock and colored it with a Dark Brown Zig Marker and my water brush.


I hope you enjoyed today's video and cards.  Thanks so much as always for stopping by.
