I used items I havenÂ’t used in a long time. As much as I love Copic Markers, I thought this would be the perfect project to use the Tombow Markers on. After I colored in the water, I used the Mini Mister/water and lightly misted the image so the colors would blend for a softer look. Then I finished with the lady.
1.Stamp image with Archival Ink, because itÂ’s waterproof.
2.Color with TOMBOW Markers, mist with water and cut out.
3.Apply Glossy Accents over water areaÂ’s, sprinkle with glitter.
4.Take Glimmer Mist, and white cardstock to create background paper, I also use it on the cardboard, and Cheesecloth. Let dry.
5.Tare bottom corner of background cardstock into three pieces, and sew in place. Curl the edges up, and tare just a little.
6.Rub Gold stamp pad over cardboard at corners.
7.Stamp Flourish in upper corner.
8.Arrange Cheesecloth on card front.
9.Attach background to cardboard with glue, let dry.
10.Add embellishments as shown, and assemble.

That's an amazing card, Linda! Gorgeous color of the mermaid. I feel like I'm at the beach, just looking at it. the net and the shells are lovely embellishments.
