Welcome to another of my blog posts showing you the wonderful pages I made as part of a wonderful book swap with 13 fellow crafters dotted all over the world!
More about this swap can be found in my Book Swap Introduction HERE.
So, onto the third page of 12! This page was for Holly Bloomfield using her chosen theme of FANTASY.
I used the following materials/steps for this page:
The mermaid image is by Simply Betty Stamps and was coloured using Promarkers.
The bubble background to the image was also done using Promarkers.
I added Glossy Accents to the mermaid's eyes, lips and earrings as well as to the black outlined hearts and bubbles by the mermaid's face.

The background was created using a DoCrafts Artiste Spritzing Ink in Aubergine. I then added texture to the background by stamping in Archival Ink with a script stamp.
The white netting behind the image was once an onion bag! Don't you just love recycling!
I made the Starfish and Shell embellishments out of Air Dry Clay and painted them with acrylic paint.
Finally, I stamped the sentiment in Archival Ink using a mini alphabet stamp set by Dove Craft and the "BELIEVE" is made using pony beads threaded onto black thread.

Don't be fooled by the simple look of this page! The colours and depth is incredible!
