Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration Sketch 42 ~ Mermaid Kelly ~ Sweet November Stamps

 Hello there crafty friend!

Today I'm sharing more inspiration for the Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration Sketch Challenge 42 in the Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration Facebook group. Another fun MerMay card! YAY!

I used a beautiful mermaid digital stamp that I got from Sweet November Stamps called Mermaid Kelly. I can't seem to find her on the website so I'm not if she was a freebie or something. But there's a bunch of other fabulous mermaids on the website if you want to check it out! I resized Mermaid Kelly in a Word Document and then printed her off. She didn't come with a sentiment and I couldn't find one that I liked so I went without.

Copic markers used:

Skin: E000, E00, E11, R00, R20

Lips: R20, R32

Hair: Y21, E43

Tail: V000, V12, V15, RV10, RV02

Painting: YG11, G14, R20, R14, YR20, YR15, Y11, Y15, V15, B000

Rock: C0, C2, C3, C5, Colorless Blender

Sky: B000, B00

I paired up the beautiful mermaid with the pretty mermaid papers I used last week called Let's Be Mermaids paper pack from Echo Park Paper Co. I've had these in my stash for such a long time. I have some larger pieces in the pack so I'm not sure if I'll get it finished off this month but I'm going to try!

Here's a look at the fun sketch for Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration Sketch Challenge 42. The sketch, as always, is meant to inspire not require. I used a stitched die for my focal image this time and colored a simple scene on the panel. The die is called A2 Lacy Layers Die from Waffle Flower.

I added a few pink sequins to finish off the card. I sure hope you can find time to play along with the sketch challenge. Have an INKriffic day!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration Sketch 42 ~ Mermaid Anya 2 ~ The Greeting Farm

 Hello there crafty friend!

Today I'm sharing more inspiration for the Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration Sketch Challenge 42 in the Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration Facebook group. A sweet mermaid for MerMay!! Yay!

I inked up the beautiful mermaid from the Mermaid Anya 2 stamp set from The Greeting Farm. This is easily my favorite mermaid from TGF. I colored her up with Copic markers and then fussy cut her leaving a white border around the edges.

Copic markers used:

Skin: E000, E00, E21, R00, R20

Hair: RV10, RV02, RV04

Mermaid Tail: Y11, BG000, BG10, BG01, BG15

Hair Starfish Cluster: Y11, Y15, YR23, YG00, YG11, G02, C0, C2

Clown Fish: Y15, YR23, YR15

Seahorse: V000, V12, V15

I paired up the cute mermaid with the Let's Be Mermaids paper pack from Echo Park Paper Co. I've had these papers in my stash forever!! Just some scraps left... I should try to finish them off this month. Maybe I'll do that and make a few more mermaid cards for MerMay. We'll see if I have time.

Here's a look at the fun sketch for Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration Sketch Challenge 42. The sketch, as always, is meant to inspire not require. So let the sketch lead in your design, but don't feel limited by it. I actually used the measurements for the the focal image this time. LOL! I did add a mat to the diagonal paper this time though. 

None of the sentiments in the stamp set would work horizontally on the card so I stamped 'It's Great To Sea You' and fussy cut each of the words to adhere to the background. All of my layers are adhered to a white A2 top fold card base, except the mermaid... I popped her up with foam tape. And then I finished off the card with a few White Glossy Card Bling pieces from A Colorful Life Designs. I sure hope you can find time to play along with the sketch challenge. Have an INKriffic day!

Thanks so much for stopping by!
