This time I started with a fun green bubble background, and augmented it with a teal green card base
- I love using green in my cards

This wee mermaid was a freebie I found on line

I painted her, and her wee fishy friend, in twinkling H20's

Added a split sentiment embossed in sparkle silver ep

I added a few large flat 'dew drop embellishments after taking most of the photographs, but they are in the top photo

A strip of washing tape finished the inside of the card.

A perfect 'bubbly' background to create an underwater look for the pretty Mermaid Maxine.

Your bubble backgrounds are always fabulous, and this one looks just perfect as underwater! Cute mermaid and nice sparkling effect.
ReplyDeleteHow fun... the background looks fabulous as does the cute little mermaid. While I didn't know green was a favorite color of yours, I can say you use it well!
ReplyDeleteThe bubble background is so fabulous for an underwater scene! Beautifully done with this gorgeous mermaid!

The bubbly background is perfect with your sparkly mermaid, Maxine! Thank you for sharing with Word Art Wednesday.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely birthday card, love the bubbly background and the sparkle! Thank you for sharing and playing along with us at AAA Birthday, hope to see you in future challenges too. Take care, keep crafting and have fun!
ReplyDeleteSuper cute card Maxine. Great background and love the use of the H2Os for that bit of glimmer. Thanks for joining us at AAA Birthday this month.
ReplyDeleteReally cute images. Love the background. This is a fun card.
ReplyDeleteHugs and Blessings
Your background is beautiful and she looks so cute! I still like the H2O's; (have to get them out of my drawer again...) the colours are great here! Hugs, Gerrina
ReplyDeleteYour bubble background turned out so beautiful. It's so adorable and so remarkable. Great coloring of the mermaid and the little fish. Those shimmering colors look so pretty.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing your sparkly card with the Everybody Art Challenge.

Love your bubble backgrounds, it is the perfect backdrop for your beautiful mermaid xx
ReplyDeleteThe green bubble background is makes a lovely effect. Washi tape has become my favorite. My daughter gifted me with a whole bunch of it.
ReplyDeleteVery soft and pretty! I love how you painted her in the twinkling watercolors. Thanks for joining us this week at Pammie's Inky Pinkies. Hope to see you again. Bonnie DT
ReplyDeleteHi Maxine this is so cute and pretty love the image and the colours you have used

This is so pretty Maxine and I love the background and how much it actually looks like water. I'm always looking for a nice water background and might give this a go.
ReplyDeleteNew question Maxine, did you use patterned paper or create this background yourself? Either way it's gorgeous but if it's one you created, I'll give it a try. I did some searching but haven't come up with anything yet which made me ask if you have a technique for it (thought you must because you have a technique for everything!)
ReplyDeleteYou know....I've never actually seen a mermaid in real life, but if I ever did, I'll just bet she would look beautiful and shiny like yours. This is SO sweet. Thanks for sharing with us at Word Art Wednesday, my friend. Please let me know if you're interested in being a Guest Designer for me again. I do miss you.

Lovely card!
ReplyDeleteLovely underwater scene, Maxine. Thank you for joining in the Crafty Calendar Challenge this month. Good luck!

Such a lovely mermaid and such a fun underwater scene - thanks a lot for joining the AAA Birthday Challenge and hope you also join one of the upcoming challenges. :)
ReplyDeleteI am loving bubble background on this adorable mermaid card Maxine! I still haven't tried this bubble technique yet, but sure need too. Your sweet mermaid is very shimmery since you painted her with the twinkling H20's, love that simmer and shine! Love how you split the sentiment as well. I love green too, but then again, I don't think I've met a color I don't like, but green is high on my list of colors. LOL Hugs, Brenda
ReplyDeleteI rarely use my Twinkling H2O's these days but when i saw this it reminded me that it is time for me to get them out again. Perhaps my little girls need to have some sparkly clothes on in the not too distant future.
ReplyDeleteThat is a lovely background, perfect for your little mermaid who is so sweet and so beautifully coloured. A super card Maxine.
Blessings, Neet xx
