Whimsy Stamps and Scrapbook Adhesives Instagram Hop...

 Hello everyone!

Today I am joining in with a fab and fun instagram hop

with 

Whimsy Stamps

and Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

I have used some gorgeous products and I'll do a list for you later in this post!

I had such fun creating this underworld scene for this gorgeous mermaid!

I stamped the Sweet and Salty Clear Stamps mermaid in black ink onto a piece of card suitable for alcohol markers and  coloured her with Copic markers.  (I'll list the colours I used at the end of this post).  I then fussy cut her and set her aside.

I created the background by running a piece of white water colour card thorough the Slimline Embossing Folder - Wave Lengths   I then cut the card into a 8.25 x 21.5cm rectangle and swooshed some blue ink over it.  I'll post a link to an earlier tutorial for this technique at the end of this post.

Then I die cut a piece of white water colour card with the Slimline Waves Die...

  

...and fixed the frame to the background with Scrapbook Adhesives Dots.

Next I created the elements for the undersea background with the Build an Ocean Die Set and Scrapbook Adhesives Transfer Sheet.

 

I fixed a piece of adhesive transfer sheet to both sides of a piece of watercolour card and die cut the build an ocean elements.

 

I then peeled the transfer sheet from the top side of the die cuts and sprinkled them with clear and blue glitter. 

 I used my finger to burnish the glitter slightly so it stuck well to the background.

I then peeled the transfer sheet from the back of the die cuts and fixed them to the card design.

I then used the Build an Ocean Die Set and the Scrapbook Adhesives 3D Foam Creative Embellishment Kit to make some extra shells for the undersea background.  

This was really easy to do and the final effect is FAB!

 
I die cut the shells with the foam sheet and then removed the top sheet and applied the foil...

I then gently rubbed the foil with my finger until it came away from the backing, I was left with a beautiful shiny silver shell.

I fixed all the elements to the card design and finally added the mermaid using the EZ Dots runner - brilliant!  The teeny tiny dots stuck to the fussy cut mermaid's intricate parts and made fixing her down so much tidier and easier!

I used the Wavy Nested Frames Die Set, a sentiment from the Sweet and Salty Clear Stamps set and Scrapbook Adhesives 3D Foam Dots to create the sentiment panel.

 
I stamped the sentiment onto the die cut and fixed it to the card design with Scrapbook Adhesives 3D Foam Dots.  

Finally I added some Starry Sky Spakletz.
