1. Stamp the image from Mermaid and Penguins stamp set on white cardstock cut to 4 1/4” x 5 1/2” with Intens-ified Black Ink.
2. Color the scene with Copic Markers. The colors I used are listed and linked below. I kept things mostly monochromatic with a brighter blue green color for the mermaid than for the background.
3. Use the blender marker to remove some color from the bubbles and recolonize with BG15.
4. Die cut the mermaid from the panel with the Mermaid and Penguins Dies then three times from white cardstock. Adhere together, cutting off the extra tail part after each layer. Color the sides of the die cut stack with BG75 to make the scene blend together.
5. Die cut the largest Fluted Classics Rectangle die Outer Rim, Insert and Inner Rim from of white cardstock. Line up white the colored panel and tape die to cut from frame in the same spot.
6. Adhere the panel to a top fold A2 card base with Bearly Arts Precision Glue, using the die cut mermaid for placement. Add the cut outs to card then adhere mermaid. You may need to remove the mermaid to get the cutouts properly placed.
7. Adhere the frame with foam strips.
8. Add black glaze pen to eyes, Nuvo Glitter Drops in White Blizzard to mermaid and Glossy Accents to bubbles. Set aside to dry.
9. Die cut sentiment from Wonderful Script Sentiments dies out of Teal Glitter Foam and the shadow from white cardstock. Adhere together with liquid glue. Add to card with foam strips.

The mermaid holding onto the penguin makes for such a charming card.
I love how the mermaid is a bit off the side of the frame and the popped up penguins. Very nicely done!
The out of frame and depth you created really make this card a standout. Thank you for mentioning that you colored the edges of the cut-outs. It really does make it blend in beautifully!
OMG stunning card!!! The dimension just brings it into another level!!
Love the dimension. I just ordered the frame die and can’t wait to get it.
OMGosh fabulous card design, love this!
Love the depth of this. It is almost three dimensional. The mermaid is so lovely and the movement you achieved is magical. TFS
I can just imagine the fun the mermaid is having! Great movement and colors.
It’s amazing how different all the artist on the Blog Hop have so many great takes on this set. I like them all & really gets the ideas flowing. You did a great job.

So lovely! I love how you used the dies to add more interest and dimension!!
Lovely job on this! I like the fluted edging, it makes it quite elegant!

So dreamy and beautiful!
Beautiful work!
Love how you colored and layered the elements on your card
Popping up both the penguin & the mermaid really added a lot to the card’s movement. Overlapping over the sides also added to the movement.
Just beautiful! The extra dimension really stands out.
Loving your shading and color choices!

Thanks for sharing your talents! Love the frame around the outside and how the tail and nose of the penguin break those barriers. The card is a piece of art work.
