CC642 - Barbara's (bejoyce) Color Challenge yesterday asked for use of SU Tranquil Tide, Silver, & Pool Party, with "Christmas in July" as dessert! I passed on dessert to create an "underwater adventure" card. I do not own SU's Tranquil Tide; therefore, I substituted Emerald Envy.
SC652 - Today's sketch includes five panels plus a sentiment. My card base is made from SU Pool Party card stock, the first panel is SU Emerald Envy, second is SU Brushed Silver, and third is a panel I created using Hero Arts supplies (from monthly kit) to develop an underwater scene. Panels four and five are the die cut seaweed and mermaid, on which I used the Inlay Technique. The seaweed was die cut from a sparkly paper included in the kit.
Enjoy! Thanks for viewing and commenting!!

Bev, this is fabulous!! Love mermaids and this one is delightful. I love the background you've created for her, it looks like there are ripples and movement of the water. Just gorgeous!!

Thank you for your lovely welcome home message Bev. Your gallery looks beautiful and this underwater beauty jumped right out at me. I can see by all the Favs of the Week notices, I am not alone at loving this to bits.

It's been so hot and humid here in Charleston - so this little mermaid is a refreshing look tonight. Outstanding layers and inlay technique. The shimmer just shouts on this beautiful card.
