Net of Wonder

Good morning!  Summer is here and so are the fabulous new summer-themed stencils from A Colorful Life Designs.  This month's stencils are perfect for those who love the water and mermaids and seashells.

I fell in love with the Layered Mermaid Tail stencil when I saw it, and I couldn't wait to play with it.  I created a little scene with three of the new stencils -  Sea Net, Layered Mermaid Tail, and Ocean Stars.  I first brushed some pale blue ink over the Sea Net stencil right onto some pale blue cardstock, and then I brushed a darker blue ink over the Layered Mermaid Tail on the right side of the sea net panel.  While this mermaid tail stencil was still in place, I sprayed some Peacock Feathers Distress Spritz for that shimmery look.  This gives the illusion that the mermaid has been caught in a net, but it needed just a little something more.  So I used some washi tape to mask off the areas around some of the stars on the Ocean Stars stencil and selectively inked up the starfish with a beige ink all around the panel.  The sentiment (Technique Junkies) was stamped with black ink and I added some TL Sea Blend Card Bling for a little extra shimmer.
