May Krafty Previews day 1

Hi everyone!

Woohoo! It's day 1 of our MAY Krafty Previews!!!

First off, we have a 2 new stamp set featuring BRAND NEW MERMAIDS!!!!!!! I know some of you have been waiting for these!! They SHORE are beautiful and they are called SERENA SPARKLES and TREENA TWINKLES! And each one features several super cute and funny coordinating sentiments!

Next up Annie has designed the perfect BACKGROUND stamp set to go with these new mermaids and many other summer stamp sets OR to just use it by itself!! How gorgeous is this underwater scene called THE OCEAN!!?

Here's the card I made, I've used Treena Twinkles and the Ocean background. I used them together and made a see through (haha, don't know if that's a correct name) card, because the background is too beautiful too hide a piece of it! 

I coloured the sea background and putted it on the inside of the card.  I used a retangular die by Crealies to cut out the middle of the front and I adhered a plastic sheet behind the retangle. I added the mermaid in front of the card with some foam tape to create some reliëf.

Here's the inside of the card. It looks like it's a sunny day underwater, right?

And here's a close up from the tail of my mermaid. I used a dotted technique on her tail and added some white dots with my Sharpie pen and as finishing touch I've added some Clear Wink of Stella over it.
