Blue and green at Countryview Challenges

Hello there! July already! How did that happen so soon? Bonus of course for those of us who are teachers is that the long holidays begin this month!!! Yipee!!!

I have a post for countryviewchallenges today where we start a new challenge - the theme is blues and greens - and I had to go for an underwater scene - the colours really scream that to me.

I used the mermaid stamp from art by Marlene - I made my card using the following steps...


Firstly I created the background using distress oxides... I used faded-jeans, lucky-clover, mermaid-lagoon and twisted-citron.


Next I used a stencil with the lucky clover and faded jeans....


Next I stamped and coloured the Mermaid using watercolour pencils...finally she was fussy cut and added to the background with the sentiment.

I hope you can check out the inspiration from the rest of the team and look at the details for the challenge here..

Big hugs

Rachel xx
