this month we are featuring three fun new stamp sets by artists MICHELLE PERKETT and BECCY MUIR.

and here is what i've created with their new stamps sets -

"MERMAID KISSES"




i beased my layout on the JANUARY sketch from MY CREATIVE SKETCHES.


some close ups from my project:


i used two different masks from THE CRAFTER'S WORKSHOP {mini flying geese and mini circle explosion} with modelling paste to alter my background paper.


i stamped the fancy shell from the SNS mermaid kisses #529 stamp set with a light brown ink and decorated it with a white pearl. i used RANGER INK liquid pears buttercup to decorate my paper layers.


to create my embellishments i die cut various beach themed shapes using CUTTLEBUG dies, white cardstock and SCRAPBOOK ADHESIVES adhesive sheets. after my die cuts where ready, i just peeled back the second protective sheet to reveal the adhesive surface and sprinkled different colors glitters and embossing powders on them.

for the sea shells i used peruvian lily velvet glitter (microfine) [GM2014].


for the sea stars i used and the large shell i used a combination of CAPPUCCINO STAR embossing powder [EP434] and SUNSET opaque glitter [G1040].


i coloured the large blue shell with ICE RINK embossing powder [EP408]; for the the small sea stars i used MELON TWIST embossing powder [EP402] and CAYENNE STAR embossing powder [EP435].


for my title i stamped the sentiment from the SNS mermaid kisses #529 stamp set with VERSAMARK ink on white cardstock and heat embossed it with FIERY BROWN embossing powder [EP369].


to colour my mermaid i used various colours SNS embossing powders and glitters and COPIC sketch markers - grey and green.

i stamped the image with MEMENTO INK "rich cocoa" on a white cardstock. i used ICE RINK embossing powder [EP408] to colour the mermaids tail and peruvian lily velvet glitter (microfine) [GM2014] for the small flowers. then i added HIT the BEACH embossing powder [EP394] to the hair. i coloured the stone with a grey COPIC sketch marker and used DIAMOND DUST chunky semi-transparent glitter [G1116] for the sea foam and MEDITERRANEAN STAR embossing powder [EP429] for the sea.

here is a complete list with all the SNS products i used on my layout:
