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

<\/a>I 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\u00a0Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers<\/a><\/span>, 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\u00a0MFT Die-Namics Stitched Scallop Edges dies<\/a><\/span>. The title is text from one of the patterned papers too.<\/p>\n

The flip book includes a watery gel-filled shaker (tutorial HERE<\/a><\/span>) 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.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

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

There are so many details to this flip book that I’d be writing a 3 page post\u00a0to cover it all\u00a0so instead, please enjoy the following video share:<\/p>\n
