You Are Mermazing - MFTWSC378

Hello my friends and welcome back.  Today I am sharing two cards that I created using the Mermazing stamp set from MFT Stamps and my first alcohol ink on Yupo paper background. I must say even after watching YouTube videos of people using alcohol ink, I did find it harder then it looked but I guess with everything there is a learning curve.

I used the current sketch from MFT Card Challenges as inspiration for my card layouts.

I wanted to keep the background fairly simple and so only used two colours of alcohol ink, Bottle and Stream.  Once it was dry I did actually end up going back and using some blending solution and a hairdryer to get a better result.  The Yupo paper came in a 5" x 7" pad, so I cut the one finished piece into two 3" x 4 1/2" pieces , using a stitched rectangle die.

I thought the background would make a perfect water background, which is why I decided to use a couple of Mermaids to highlight that fact.  The mermaids were coloured using Copic markers and I added some clear sparkling pen to their tails as the finishing touch.

Here are a couple of picture of my cards.
