Mermaid Escape

 Whimsy Stamps have the most gorgeous mermaid stamp and die set that they released this month.  It's a first for me as I've never made a card where I've build the scene up by colouring and die cutting individual elements .... and I'm sold.  What a fab, fun and easy way to make a card!

The Mermaid Escape clear stamp set and Mermaid Escape die set that were part of a previous Paper Door Kit from Whimsy Stamps are now available individually 

I stamped out the elements from the Mermaid Escape clear stamp set and coloured them in with copic markers.  I used the matching Mermaid Escape die set to quickly die cut the images ready to pop on the background.

I made the background by heat embossing the Lotsa Dots background from this month's Paper Door kit then inked over that with distress oxides (old paper, tumbled glass and mermaid lagoon.)

I adhered the elements with glue and some with foam tape for dimension and finished off with a heat embossed anchor from the stamp set and some twine.  Oh and some "pearls" on the mermaid with a white gel pen.
