For the WTUI challenge this week - you'll be able to find out what the story is HERE.
Like my other sample, this too uses a birthday gift - I've been having fun with my Mermaid Markers thanks to Lorraine. This was my first try out at playing with them - I thought the vibrant colours would be good with this image. It's stamped on watercolour paper with Versafine Black and coloured entirely with markers. Edged with a black pen.
For the base, I scribbled a couple of the markers on a craft mat and spritzed with water, then did a monoprint background using a circle stencil. I edged this with a black pen too. Then added the eyelets and threaded through some fun fibres which were a perfect colour match! Decided to add a sentiment, so moved the flamingo lower down the card (popped up on foam), and added a little banner sentiment edged with pink Stickles.

So fun and beautiful, Sabrina! I've not heard of Mermaid Markers, but what beautiful results, from the flamingo panel to the background. Love the fibers, too!

Wonderful BG on this one Sabrina. Those fun fibers are perfect to pair with this flamingo. I will have to check out Mermaid Markers, they look like great vibrant colors.

This is so cool looking! I love your fluffies on the side, and your flamingo is colored so nicely!!

Flamingos are the coolest birds!! Love the watercolor you did with his beautiful stamp and the fiber fluff ribbon is so reminiscent of their feathers. Very creative, Sabrina!
