Keep Your Fin Up

Here's my card for the current Fusion challenge. I paired the sketch with elements from the inspiration photo (color scheme and shell/ocean theme) for this simple design.

My focal image is the mermaid from Reverse Confetti's Mermaid Kisses stamp set. The mermaid and shell images were colored with Copic markers and cut out with the matching dies. I paired the images with a wavy patterned teal blue panel from an old RC Quick Card Panels. The patterned panel was matted on coordinating teal cardstock and placed at the upper left corner of an aqua card base. I added the trio of images at the bottom right of the patterned panel using foam tape for dimension. The set's "keep your fin up" sentiment was stamped on an aqua cardstock strip matching the card base. I set it on the patterned panel, tucking one end beneath the raised mermaid image.

Materials Used:
Mermaid Kisses stamp set, Mermaid Kisses dies, Quick Card Panels (Reverse Confetti); Memento Tuxedo Black ink (Tsukineko/IMAGINE Crafts); markers (Copic); Aqua Mist cardstock (Papertrey Ink); Ocean cardstock (Recollections); foam tape
