Gallery Idol Round 3: Little Mermaid Themed Card with Stencil

by May Park-

Hi crafty friends! I still cannot believe I’m in the Top 15 of the Paper Crafts Magazine’s Gallery Idol contest. Thanks so much to everyone who voted for my soda card and help me to go to the next round. You’re all the best blogging friends a girl could ever ask for! I really appreciate your support.Screen Shot 2014-06-02 at 9.35.30 AMNow it’s time to focus on Round 3! The theme is to use a stencil on a card. When I sat down to work on my card, lots of ideas came to mind anything from trendy to freestyle collage to make this challenge work. Then I chose to keep true to my style which is clean and simple based on creativity. For my card, I used stenciling and heat embossing technique along with watercoloring to support my theme. Without further ado, here is what I came up with:

I created a fun summer card inspired by The Little Mermaid. I took the color scheme, purple and aqua blue, from the main character, Ariel. I only created the lower body of the mermaid by leaving the upper body to your imagination. What do you imagine? Beautiful mermaid or just big fish? By the way, did you notice the sparkles on the fish scales? How about some wet look on the end of the tail? I added some fabulous details to my card. 🙂

This is how I made my card. 1)Create a mermaid image using Silhouette design studio and cut it out using cutting machine. Then layer a Heidi Swapp stencil over the image and ink it with several colors of Distress Inks using blending tools. 2)Heat emboss the inked area with Sparkle embossing powder. 3)Ink the end of tail with Distress Inks and heat emboss it with Clear Ultra Thick Enamel embossing powder from Ranger. 4)Add some colors on a piece of watercolor paper. 5)Stamp the sentiment from Making Memories magnetic stamp set. Them stamp the dot images from PTI Beautiful Blooms II stamp set with Hero Arts shadow ink: soft pool.  After that, apply some glossy accents over the dots. 6)Pop up the mermaid image on the watercolored card base using foam tape.

Here is a closer look at my card. I really love how it turned out! The gradient-colored pattern by stenciling looks so fabulous with all the glitters.  I’m so sure this card looks way better in real life. Hope you can catch the awesome details from the photo above. 🙂

    First off I would like to say excellent blog!

    I had a quick question in which I’d like to ask if you do not mind.
    I was curious to find out how you center yourself and clear
    your mind prior to writing. I’ve had difficulty clearing my
    thoughts in getting my ideas out. I do take pleasure in writing however it just seems like the first
    10 to 15 minutes tend to be wasted just trying to figure out how to begin. Any
    recommendations or hints? Thanks!

    it seems as though you relied on the video to make
    your point. You definitely know what youre talking about, why throw away your intelligence
    on just posting videos to your weblog when you could be giving us something enlightening to read?
