OSAAT #170 - Anything Goes

The theme this week at One Stitch at a Time is Anything Goes. It was Josephine's turn to pick for the two of us to use this week. She chose Ocean Blue Paper Pack 2 by Oase of Panda Bear over at Stitchybear Digital Outlet and to go with these wonderful papers she chose the image, Ocean Floor, by Stitchy.

The card blank is by Joanna Sheen. I chopped the front of the large 8x8 square card and covered it with the rolling seas paper, using a strip down the outside edge of the card. My idea was to give you the feeling that the mermaid is at the bottom of these rolling waves. I coloured the image with my Promarkers and used a Sakura diamond pen to add some sheen to the tail, fin and hair of the mermaid. I cut round the image and used Distress Ink round the edges. A Memory Box die, Loopy Rings, cut in silver lightweight card, act as bubbles. I generated the sentiment on the computer and cut it with my brand new Spellbinders Resplendent Rectangle which arrived in the post this morning! This was also given some Distress Ink treatment.
