Hello Mermaid
Hi there crafty friend! Crystal here and today I'm so happy I finally inked up a mermaid for Mer-May! Better late than never! I inked up the gorgeous Mermaid Anya 2! Woohoo!
I'm also excited to make another memory dex card for my holder. I found a fun ink smooshed background in my 'keep for later bin' I had ink smooshed with a couple of blues. I want to say it was Tumbled Glass and Salty Ocean Distress Oxide inks but I'm not 100% sure. I did ink smoosh some Wilted Violet and Villainous Potion Distress inks over the blues.
I inked up all the fun images from the Mermaid Anya 2 stamp set with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored them up with Copic markers. I also added touches of white gel pen here and there. I fussy cut them leaving a white border around the edge.
Here's a quick list of the Copic markers I used:
Skin: E000, E00, E21, R00, R20
Hair: RV10, RV02, RV04
Mermaid Tail: Y11, BG000, BG10, BG01, BG15
Hair Starfish Cluster: Y11, Y15, YR23, YG11, G02, C0, C2, C3
Clown Fish: Y15, YR23, YR15
Seahorse: V000, V12, V15
Seaweed: Y11, YG11, G02
Rocks: C0, C2, W00, W1, W4, W7
Starfish: Y11, Y15
I used an old memory dex die in my stash to die cut the background. Normally I would add papers and embellish a bit more but I really wanted some of the ink smooshed background to show.
I did decide to add a few sequins from my stash to finish it off with a little sparkle. I hope I've inspired you to get inky... maybe even with a mermaid stamp for Mer-May!
Inky Hugs,
Crystal
