A Passion for Markers Blog Spot Challenge #732 - 3 of Anythings Sponsored by LeAnn's World

Hello everyone wishing you all a lovely day !

Today I'm here to let you know that a new challenge has started over on the Passion for Markers Blog challenge and I hope that you will join in.

This weeks challenge theme of '3 of Anything' has been chosen by Linda for team 2 and being sponsored by LeAnn's World 101

I chose to use one of the beautiful fantasy digital images called Alesea for my card today....there's something magical about mermaids after all and I had the idea for the card in my head as soon as I saw the theme. This is a 5 x 7 portrait card with a fabulous inky background for my underwater scene. 

I used a peice of 300gsm watercolour card and began by creating an inky background using lots of distress inks, drying in between each layer.  Once I was happy with the layers and the depth of colour I spritzed the panel with water and then carefully sprinkled Brushos over the design. 

These really are wonderful pigment powders that help to create my watery scene really easily.  I wanted the water to look like it was swirling and bubbling around the main image.                                                                                                  I then used distress oxide inks to stamp 3 corals at the bottom of the design and 3 shoals of fish, these are my 3 of anything to tie in with the theme of this challenge then to add details and highlights I used metallic and neon gel pens to the fish and coral. 

Next I resized the mermaid image to suit the card, printed on a laser printer and then coloured with my Promarkers (see below for colours used). 

  

The sentiment was stamped and heat embossed onto a strip of blue card and the final  touches were some sparkly details to her hair a few pieces of teal confetti around the design.

I hope that you join in with the challenge as there is a prize from the sponsor for our lucky winner!

I really hope that you have enjoyed my card today and will drop by again to see my next project and don't forget to join in with the challenge over on the Passion for Markers blog
