Hello everyone! Hope you are all doing well! Today I'm sharing more ocean
goodness from Brutus Monroe!
In this project I'll be using:
First I chose the papers I would be working with. I chose the blue/green
Mermaid Skin as my background and an all over pattern from the
Sea Sparkle Paper Pack.
Next I took a 6" x 6" piece of white card stock and folded it in half for my base.
I die cut a scalloped rectangle from the Blue/Green Mermaid Skin and adhered it
onto the front of the folded card base. I also fussy cut elements from the pink
patterned paper.
I had arranged how I wanted the elements placed along the bottom of my card to
look like the ocean floor. I laid a piece of Press'N Seal on this so it would stay.
I flipped it over and adhered the left side of the elements and gently laid it on my
card base. My initial layout was too long so with a few adjustments they fit
perfectly along the bottom.
Next I stamped out my image and sentiment on Neenah 80lb Classic Crest
Solar White card stock.
I colored both with Copic markers. Colors used:
Whale: B12, B32, B28, B23, YG11, YG06, YG09
Sentiment: B000
After the coloring was finished I adhered the whale to the upper right
corner of my card with foam tape. I used a shimmer pen on his body
and crystal glaze for his eyes. Once the eyes were dry I put a dot on
each one with a white gel pen. I adhered the sentiment flat on the
upper left corner of the card.
I also went over the gold colored bits on the patterned paper with the shimmer pen.
Using some liquid glue that remains tacky when dry, I went along the bottom of the
card adding the glue in the empty spaces between the cut elements. When it was
dry I added Blue Shimmer Flakes. They really tend to look like bits of sea glass! I also
added some to the sentiment. As a final embellishment I adhered flat-backed
acrylic bubbles. And that finished my project!
I hope you enjoyed today's tutorial! It was so fun to make! And the new
Mermaid Skin!!!!!! Tilting it in the light brings out the different colors!
