You Are Mermazing–MFT Wednesday Sketch Challenge #443

Hi, everyone, I'm back with this week's MFT Wednesday Sketch Challenge! Are you ready? Here's this week's sketch. All of the details about the sketch challenge are available on the MFT Blog as well as in the weekly newsletter. The MFT Design Team will be on hand to provide plenty of inspiration to get you started.

I decided to make a shaker element out of that big ol’ center star. Since we no longer have any big ol’ stars I went with LJD Jumbo Peek-a-Boo Circle Windows Die-namics for my center element. To begin, I heat embossed Whimsical Waves Background on Ranger Watercolor paper and applied a watercolor wash. While that was drying, I stamped my image from BB Mermazing on No Line Coloring card stock with Extreme Black hybrid ink, cut it out with the coordinating Die-namics, and colored it with Copic markers.

Next I created the shaker element with clear acetate card stock for the window, foam tape, sequins, and Silver Shimmer seed beads. I adhered that to the card base, added the sentiment, heat embossed on Grape Jelly card stock cut with Fishtail Flag Trio Die-namics and popped it up on foam tape. I popped up the mermaid as well, and finished off with some sequin accents.

And there you have it! Remember, you can get all the details by visiting the MFT Challenge Blog. You have the chance to win a $50 in MFT voucher. One winner is chosen at random each week!

Thanks for stopping by! See you soon!
