Inkspirational Challenge 60- Mermaids


Here's my DT card for this week's Inkspirational Challenge.  This time it's a photo challenge:

Well, I chose this picture and to be honest, I could have picked any one of a dozen ideas from it ...but I went with this mermaid stamp from Enchanted Ink.

I stamped onto acetate, put adhesive on the back and brushed on several colours of mica powder. Then I attached this panel the layers of cards using eyelets and added gems for water bubbles.

I hope the picture will give you some ideas and that you'll come and join us at Inkspirational and also check out the projects of our fantastic design team.

Marina,

How fun to stamp on acetate! The flow of the stamp is just gorgeous and the colors with mica really make it look under water. Thanks so much for joining us at Open-Minded Crafting. Good Luck!

Seriously super cool! This stamp is perfect for placing on acetate, the mica colours are stunning and using gems for both 'practical' and decorative purposes utterly brilliant. This new-to-me-technique has me dazzled! Fabulous card; fabulous inspiration!
