Uxia the Mermaid at QKD

Happy Friday! I want to share with you a little note card that I created for the Whimsical Ink Sorority. For my little piece of art I used a rubber stamp from Queen Kat Designs (QKD) and designed by Myka Jelina. That beautiful stamp is Uxia the Mermaid.

My last project with Uxia was an ATC. This time around I decided to do a small note card. The size of this card is 3¼”x5” and is the perfect size for Uxia to shine.

The background was created on watercolor paper and with a Cuttlebug embossing folder. After the embossing was complete I swiped Salty Ocean DI over the embossed areas and then sprayed with Pearl Glimmer Mist.

The leaves, or seaweed, were punched with a McGill punch. The orange seaweed is orange cardstock and the green seaweed is spayed with a watercolor wash in lime green. I then spayed these with Pearl Glimmer Mist. I love my Glimmer Mist..

I stamped Uxia with VersaFine inks in Onyx Black and Majestic Blue. She is then colored with Prismacolor pencils. I then mounted her on orange cardstock. The pearls were added from my stash.

I really had not planned on making this such a bright piece, but I think I like it. I hope you do too.
