Mermaids!

I have so much fun creating ATC's.
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.
This was a set of fifteen ATC's and they are all different.















The image is from Retro Cafe Art. First I fussy cut the mermaids then added some glitter.
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).
I would like to enter this card in the following challenges:
Edited on September 19, 2012:
My Favorite Technique is Distressing and I did this on the sentiment and on the borders of the ATC's.

Thanks!

Love,
Julia
