A Mermaid under the Sea

Its time for a new challenge over at Perfectly Rustics and the theme is Banners. I have a niece that is obsessed with Ariel and all things mermaids, so not only is she having a mermaid party but I thought this card would be perfect for her.

Card Tip:

I have created this background myself, here is how to achieve the same look:
Step 1: Using the distress inks of your choice - I used peacock feathers, bundled sage,tumbled glass and dusty concord, with a ink blending tool add varying amounts of each colour to white card stock.
Step 2:
once you are happy with the colour combination you have created spray the whole piece with a glitter spray - I used Tattered Angel iridescent gold. 
Step 3: just in selected spots add more spray so you have pooling.
Step 4: move the card around so the pooling liquid moves around, this will also help blend the distress inks further. 
Step 5: set aside to dry or heat it with your heat gun, just be careful of your pooled areas as the heat gun may direct them where you don't want them.
