This one I created for the August Swap over at The Crafter's Cafe. The theme is Mermaids.
I also used four of them as inspiration for Wednesday Anything Goes Challenge over at Lady Anne's Paper Craft.
For the background I used Portfolio Water Soluble Oil Pastels and Faber Castell Metallic Gel Sticks.
Distress the borders with Distress Ink (Broken China).
Stamped the border with Recollections stamps and Archival Ink (Jet Black).
Created the corals with Tim Holtz Alterations (On the Edge - Twigs).

My Favorite Technique is Distressing and I did this on the sentiment and on the borders of the ATC's.
Thanks!
