Whisper Of The Sea - Aurora Wings Sketch Challenge

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Hey all! I have been spending a lot of time trying to color this beautiful mermaid from the Aurora Wings collection called Whisper Of The Sea. I love this digital stamp that Mitzi has made and it will always be one of my favorites. That is probably why I like to take my time with it. I started it before our move, but didn't get to finish it. Then if you follow me on Instagram you would know that I got stuck for a while.

The challenge this month over at the Aurora Wings Challenge Blog is a Sketch Challenge here is the sketch for you :

I was actually going to use a different stamp for this. But, after looking at my die cuts I really wanted to do something with the Rubbernecker Stamps Bubble Die Cut and this really looked like the card to do it on. I tried this a couple of different ways...



First I cut out the circles because I wanted it to look like she was in a window of sorts. I also wanted to use the blue glitter paper that I had found at Michaels. It is my favorite color and I hope that they never stop making it haha! I also cut the bubbles out in the glitter paper along with some iridescent paper as well.



I do have to say that iridescent paper is  HARD to cut out with any die cut I used... so I had to cut this with the die and then cut it out by hand... so if you see some botched job up there... yeah... I don't think I will be using that paper again anytime soon HAHA!!



The bottle actually belongs to my daughter Meadow. She gave it to me because I was trying to put some shells my husband had bought me for the card as his contribution which I thought was a great idea... but I really liked the bottle as well. I let my wonderful friend and team coordinator, Donna, decide for me... she is always amazingly helpful! I just love her! So we went with Meadow's bottle.

Here is a photo of the one with the shells:



The "fishing net" was made from burlap that I had sitting around. I just pulled out some strings and stretched it out a bit to make it "look" like a fishing net. My son Stephen is the one that picked out the nautical background paper. He picked a yellow... but I had bit of a blue piece too, we both agreed the blue looked best.  It is a lot of fun when family takes part in helping me make a card. I love sharing this with them.



My first idea was to use her for the Once Upon A Time challenge a few weeks ago... I was going for the Little Mermaid.
