Sweet November Stamps ~ Go With The Flow

Happy Tuesday!  I'm celebrating again today with some more of our new 2024 MerMay clear stamp release from Sweet November Stamps.

I started my card by stamping my little long haired mermaid and the sweet otter from the "Go with Flow" stamp set using Memento Tuxedo Black ink.  I also stamped a variety of little sea creatures from the "Something's Fishy".  

I created a sea floor using Copic Markers and colored that in.  I also colored in all of my critters and my mermaid using Copic Markers.

I fussy cut out my mermaid attached to the sea floor.  I allowed a little bit of paper around the seaweed leaves due to their detail.  I Copic colored around those leaves with blue ink to match the background.  I also fussy cut out all my sea animals.

Next I cut a circle from some acetate and adhered all of my sea animals around the outside of the circle.  I also punched a hole in the circle.

I used a simple brad to attach the circle to my card's background.  The brad allows the circle to rotate making the sea creates swim behind the mermaid.  The acetate also peeks a bit below the card so it's easier to rotate from below.

Next I adhered the mermaid and the seabed to the card front using dimensional foam adhesive.  I made sure that the 3D foam didn't touch or impede the rotation of the acetate circle.

This card was so fun to create and who doesn't love an interactive card!
