Hi there! Today I’m sharing a project from the latest September Card Kit by Simon Says Stamp, Sea Treasure.
I used the Beautiful Mermaids stamp set included in the kit to create my card.
I stamped the mermaid image using Memento ink and colored her with Copics. I love her hair! If you thought I might have been humming “Under the Sea” while coloring her, then you are absolutely right. I was, and I’m sorry if you are now, too, ha!
Using the Slopes and Hills dies I created masks to create gradient ocean waves using Cracked Pistachio, Peacock Feathers, Mermaid Lagoon & Blueprint Sketch for the waves.
Check out the Simon Says Stamp blog for more information on this fun Sea Treasure card kit! Thanks so much for stopping by!

August 15, 2018 at 2:38 pmHi Laura, I have a question for you totally unrelated to this blog post (sorry not a fan of cutsy). You use a huge variety of stamps from different companies. How do you keep track of sentiments so you can find the right one for the card you are making? or the journal page? I have been asking lots of card makers this question and so far no one has answered. I think it would be an excellent topic for a video. People talk about how they store all their goodies, but no one talks about how they find the exact words or sentiments they want to find for their work. Just curious. I have a few thoughts but I don’t want to have to reinvent the wheel if someone has a system that works. thanks as always for sharing.
