My Enchanted Seaside where Mermaids Play

Hello Crafty People... Today I want to share with you a card I made, its been quite the process. I really didn't think it would come together.
a new challenge inspired me to use some of my Bestie digi's
http://2015worldwideopendesignteamchallenge.blogspot.com/

 I'm glad I stuck with it because I think it came out perfect and hopefully tells a little story and inspires you to never give up on anything in life, always push through.






This Beautiful Image which I have coloured with my copics and made into a 3d Bestie.

To put this card together has been a mission and I have used many many items and techniques.
the card base is a 6' x 12' and I have made up a custom pop up in the centre with Kaiser Kraft - base coat collection
P1061 distressed
as a platform for the cute mermaid Bestie to sit on.
covered the back with Kaiser Kraft - Base coat collection
P1063 concrete
and base with Rowlux illusion film - Dark Blue Moire
 
 
I then added some glass pebbles sea green and sea blue and surrounded it all with Inkssentials - Glossy accents and
Derivan Matisse glass beads 1.5mm and 3mm. giving the card base a great wet, sea and bubbly finish.
I then added some a couple of stamped images and words from stamp set sea breeze from - Clear Impressions
and finally a little dolphin from Lawn Fawn set - Critters of the Sea
 
On the background I have added some ribbon mesh and distressed it and added some green moss.
up top I've added some dry seaweed (from my local beach) and a opal glass pebble and also a Prima Junkyard Findings - water pipes part.
finished detail with a EK edge punch - cake piping large and some bling on mermaid waist and top boarder.
 
 
 
It was lots of work but i'm so glad I pushed through with it, I think it came out great .
I hope I have inspired you to get creative and push your creativity further then you ever have.
 
Happy Crafting
Hugs xx
