Mermaid Watercolors

 I love anything fantasy inspired such as mermaids, fairies, dragons, sign me up! This card looks harder than it was, really! All of the watercolor was Colorista markers on a piece of glass, being mopped up by water color paper, then sprinkled with kosher salt and left to sit for at least an hour. I use the glass from an old picture frame because it gives me lots of space to work with. The green leaves are also from watercolor. Sometimes pretty paper makes everything just come together!


I use a Momenta Christmas Wreath die to cut out all the foliage and the mermaid and sea turtle are from Hero Arts and colored with Ohuhu alcohol markers. The tiny bit of glitter is actually Glitz embossing powder from Recollections. If you look closely too you can see mermaids in the sequins, how fun is that!! 


A few gem embellishment with Buttons and Galore half pearlz (I LOVE their half pearlz) and all done! I plan on putting up a shaker reel on Instagram @bkeeleycrafts in the next couple weeks that will show how to make that shaker sequin window. Shaker cards are really super approachable!
