For day 1 we have a photo inspiration. I chose to color up the sweet ava mermaid with Spectrum Noirs and a gel pen, and I used my DIs to make her the underwater scene. I know many of you have probably went down this road before, but I haven't been confident using my inks for that long yet. I used blue, purple and green DIs.The "seagrass" is made using a freebie stamp and I stamped a birthday greeting in Norwegian. I also added some silver liquid pearls to her hair and the water. The bubbles have glitter glue. A little sprinkle of water before I added a coat of Perfect Pearl for a shimmery effect, which I didn't capture in the photo. I attached the panel to a black card base. It's rare I don't use any sort of dies or DPs, so this is a bit different for me. Its'a 100% flat and if it weren't for the cardbase it would be a one layer.
This card is also for:
Crafting By Designs - Inspired by a Movie (Splash)
Everybody-Art-Challenge - #394 Anything Goes
Aud Sentiments Challenge- #171 Anything Goes (+ A Sentiment)

Sweet image and your water looks amazing!
ReplyDeleteThis is very different from your usual cards Pia, but you achieved so well with this new style and I love very much your underwater scene!! There are a lot of details in it, and I'm sure that the shine in real life looks amazing! The pearls in the hairs of the mermaid (how cute!!) look so lovely and also the glittered bubbles! The plants you choose for algas are just perfect, as well the inked background with the sprinkle of water! Well done!

It's wonderful - a really dreamy scene.
ReplyDeleteAnother great underwater scene (working my way backwards lol )

LOVE HER! Yes, I see the pearls, and they are the perfect addition. This water technique (using water to splatter DIs) is second-to-none for an underwater background. Excellent, Pia!
