Mermaid Card made from kept August KIT

Here is my first project I made with my kept KIT. I am celebrating summer. From my kit I used the stamped image, the wave border, flower cut-out, star/snowflake punch out, and 2 four-leaf flower cut-outs.

1. Colored stamped image (was stamped with Mementos dye ink) with Prismacolor markers. I colored the background with Farber-Castell chalks.
2. I colored the wave border by pouncing (is that the correct term?) on distress inks with my sponge applicator. I used three different colors of distress inks. I then used my blue powder puff chalk ink pad and rubbed it across the cut-out until I liked the coverage of the ink. Adhered the wave border to the stamped image CS and left to dry.

Love the vibrant colors on your mermaid, and then the soft effect of the chalk on the water. And I love what you did with the snowflake cut out, very unexpected!
