Hey friends, it's time for another Lawn Fawnatics Challenge, and this time we've got a Color Inspiration photo to inspire you. This palette was definitely giving me tropical vibes, so I decided to do a mermaid scene with a pirate treasure twist, combining images from Mermaid For You, Ahoy, Matey, Fintastic Friends, Critters From the Past, Flamingo Together, and Manatee-rific. I colored them all with Copic markers and trimmed them out with the matching dies.
For the background, I started by blending Salvaged Patina, Mermaid Lagoon, and Uncharted Mariner Distress Oxide Ink onto a panel of Bristol Cardstock. Then I die cut the Riverside Backdrop: Landscape out of another piece of Bristol, and blended on Antique Linen and Gathered Twigs, splattering it with the Gansai Tambi Starry Colors to give it a sandy texture and a bit of gold shine. I used the Ocean Wave Accents to cut waves into the water and adhered these two pieces together.
I stamped a sentiment in the center of the sky, then glued all of my images into the scene with liquid glue. Once I had it filled in nicely, I adhered the focal panel to a Speckled Eggshell card base and added a Stitched Rectangle Frame of Apricot Cardstock and finished off the card with some Stardust Stickles.
If you'd like to see how this card came together, click the thumbnail below, or you can find the video on my YouTube channel, Christy Gets Crafty. I really hope you enjoy it!
