Layered Mermaid Tail and Storm Tossed Waves From A Colorful Life Designs July 2025 Release

 Hello everyone.  I have a fun card today.  I used a New Stencil from A Colorful Life Designs New July 2025 Release.  Use VonFan10 to save.  Code can be used on your stencils and Card Bling but not on Master Creator Bundles. Without further ado here is my card.

I love this New Layered Mermaid 6x6 Stencil.  I love that it's a 6x6 stencil but has 2 layering pieces and negative pieces as well. My tail kinda looks like a Pineapple themed tail 😂 🍍 It's fun though right?  I started out with white cardstock and ink blended with Catherine Pooler Shea Butter ink for the body and for the tail I used Catherine Pooler Skylight ink.  On the scallops area I used Gold ink.  

I then used the negative stencil tail and placed it over my inked tail.  I used the New Storm Tossed Waves 6x9 (love this stencil too) with Catherine Pooler Stone Blue ink.  My background was cut out with a LDRS stitched A2 rectangle die and sentiment was stamped in black ink using Hero Arts Mermaid Wishes Stamp set.  I glued my stenciled rectangle to a A2 card base 4 1/4 x 5 1/2.  I embellished with some Satin Matte Gold Card Bling to match.

Sending Mermaid Wishes

 Hello everyone.  I have a fun sea themed card today.  I didn't do any mermaid cards last month well maybe 1.  I now have one for June using A Colorful Life Designs Newest Release.  Use VonFan10 to save 10% off your purchase.

I used the New Fishy Frame 6x6 Stencil.  I think it's so much fun. Great for Summer themed cards.  I think fish are so calming on cards.  On white cardstock, I ink blended the Fishy Frame Stencil with Hero Arts Reactive Ombre Spring Day ink.  I think it's so soft and pretty.  I love how it came out.  I used a circle die from Waffle Flower Crafts to cut out my background.

Next, I stamped this Mermaid and Fish image with Memento Tuxedo ink on white cardstock from Hero Arts  called Mermaid Wishes.  I colored it with my Copic Markers and then fussy cut it out.  I stamped a sentiment from the same stamp set onto my circle die-cut with black ink.  I glued everything to a A2 card base and glued some sequins and added white gel accents with my white Gelly Roll pen.  I hope you like my card.  I had fun making it.  Check out the Newest Release here.

Wishing You Everything Happy

 Hello everyone.  I hope you are great.  I have a card today for Woodblock Wednesday yay.  This challenge is hosted by my friend Amy and you can find more details about this challenge over on her blog here.  

I used 2 Wood block Stamps on my card.  The mermaid I had bought at Hobby Lobby and the sentiment is a favorite from Michaels.  I chose to do a Mermaid card for Mermay.  So, I made my background first.  I started out with white 110 pound white paper and ink blended it with Hero Arts Spring Day ink using my large blending brushes. I used all of the 3 ink colors individually in th eorder of the ink pad.

I then used the Underwater Edger 2 stencil from A Colorful Life Designs (use VonFan10 to save) using the same iHero Arts ink pad. The stencil has also the negative and I used both on this card.  Next, I cut out my background using a stitched rectangle A2 die using my Anna Griffith Empress machine.  I stamped the mermaid and wood block sentiment using black ink.  I cut out the sentiment using a smaller stitched rectangle die.

I colored in the mermaid using my alcohol markers and fussy cut it out.  I glued everything to a A2 card base and adhered my mermaid with foam tape.  I used a glitter pen and glittered my mermaid and added some sequin amd clay embellishments.  I hope you like my Mermaid card, it was so much fun.  I hope I inspired you to join the challenge.
