Lisa aka Shoe Girl is hosting this weeks teaparty for 15 year old RaiLynn at the Mayo Clinic in MN.
The background for this card is from my stencil stash. When ever I use stencils and texture paste, I use the excess paste on a clean piece of cardstock. The end result is very random and organic.
To colour this back ground I smacked distress inks onto al foil, squirted on heaps of water then dunked the pre-stencilled cardstock in the inky puddle. More colour is added by using a foam blending brush and undiluted distress ink.
I had a lot of trouble photographing this. The lower half of the card is a bright aqua, but it looks much darker here. I noticed that her make-up job looks dodgy here too, but she looks fine in real life.
I hope our bright and happy cards bring some sunshine to RaiLynn as she spends another month in hospital.
Thank you for looking and I hope you get a chance to join in.

Wow, Susie! She is strikingly beautiful with her long purple hair and head covered in gorgeous pearls. Her tail is beautiful in color and her hearts top is gorgeous. Now that background is breathtakingly awesome, Susie! I have no doubt that this card will definitely bring cheer to RaiLynn. Great piece of artwork, Susie!

I just love your mermaids, Susie. This one is exceptionally pretty and cute. The liquid pearls look fantastic and the modeling paste bg turned out great. Fabulous card.
