Color Throwdown Challenge: #502

Hi Everyone! What a fin-tastic color challenge this week; it immediately took me to the ocean and was inspired to make a mermaid card. If you haven't seen this challenge or played along, here is the link. If you are visiting from the challenge, thank you for stopping by and visiting my blog!

The mermaid tail and shells are from the Essentials By Ellen Inner Mermaid Set. I embossed the mermaid tail with silver embossing powder and then colored with Copics. The shells are stamped in Bahama Blue and Paris Dusk Memento Ink. I used the following five Copic Colors: N1, B0000, B00, B12 & B16. I'm really excited about how the mermaid tail turned out; the silver embossing really helps it pop of the card.

I also stamped the background stripes with the Memento Inks and the image is from the Pattern Play set from the Essentials by Ellen Leading Lady series...this was the first time I played with this set and I can't wait to use it on more cards as background images.

Here's a close-up of the image elements.

Big Paper Hugs!🤗
