Picket Fence Studios Mermaid Dear Card

 Playing with Picket Fence Studios' Mermaid Dear stamp. I stamped with my MISTI and colored with Copics after fussy cutting the fish away. I wanted it to be about her in the sea. The die of the circle is from my stash, and the word die as well. The background was ink blended with 3 Distress Oxides, Tumbled Glass, Mermaid Lagoon, and Pistachio. Love the water drops to add to the affect. I made this for a special person and they truly loved it! Enjoy!

Picket Fence Mermaid Dear Shaker Card

 Picket Fence Mermaid Dear stamped with Picket Fence Hybrid Black ink with my MISTI and then colored with my Copics. I die cut it out with the matching die. Using the Picket Fence A2 Shaker die with plastic from a page refill, I die cut it out. The center die of the shaker die set is slightly smaller rectangle so as to pull the plastic back. Using the Current Fish 6x6 stencil with the Paper Glaze Ocean Poppy paste I made the background. I then used Distress Oxide in Mermaid Lagoon (so appropriate, right?) and Squeeze Lemonade to make it look like the ocean floor. Before I combined all of the pieces together, I heat embossed the sentiment with Wow Embossing powder in Iris from Marion Emberson Designs. I love all of the purples so much. I also added the Purple Side of the Rainbow gem mixes near the sentiment. I didn't own any more PF sequins so added Catherine Pooler sequins in North Pole and Charleston combined. I have enjoyed the creativity making this piece and am so thrilled with how it came out! Hope you enjoy it, too!

Bo Bunny and Picket Fence mixed media Layout

                             

                                                  

Directions: I used Bo Bunny Rose Cafe' collection and added cardstock for matting the photos. Tore the paper so as to show the tile and have the cobalt blue lace come from behind it. Inked all edges with Distress Walnut ink and blender. Added the lace with red tape and taped to back of page. I stenciled loosely with the paint and chose carefully where to place it. I used the Picket Fence Tile Montage 6x6 Stencil with cobalt blue paint. Later I sprayed it with tacky spray to make a better clean look but this was the affect that I had wanted for this particular layout to make it more vintage feel like Grecian tiles. The lace was perfect as I drapped across and tacked it with tape on the back. I had torn the tile paper so as to make it look like it emerged from the wall like a "drape". Hope you enjoy it because I love making it!!
