Ocean Mermaid ATC and Flip Book | CraftyPaws

I was so excited to have won the Let’s Be Mermaids Echo Park 12 x 12 paper collection and ephemera pack on Instagram! I just couldn’t wait to break into it and get crafting.

20160708_170055I made the little ATC (artist trading card 2.5″ x 3.5″) using a watercolor background that I made with various blues and aquas from the 60 piece set of Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers, fussy cutting out a bunch of tiny mermaids from the paper collection, and a bit of polka dot vellum that I die cut into waves with the smallest of the MFT Die-Namics Stitched Scallop Edges dies. The title is text from one of the patterned papers too.

The flip book includes a watery gel-filled shaker (tutorial HERE) as well as a spinner card with a magnet closure that I created using the mirrored stamping technique and one of the fish from the “Cute Fish” cling stamps from an old Inkadinkado stamp set that I had picked up at Tuesday Morning about 6 months ago.

1 open

I used the following Copic colors to color up all four fish from the stamp set:
Clown fish (on front): C1, 6, 10 and 0; YR00, 12, 04 and 07
Blow fish (on front): Y00, Y11, YR31, YR21, E93, E95, E97
Rainbow colored fish (on tuck spot for tags): Y08, Y13, YG07, G19, B000, B01, B05, B18
Angel flame colored fish (mirrored for spinner): Y15, R32, R35, R37, B01, B24, B29
