Let's Squash It! Under The Sea

Hello Nomad friends.  Here we are, kicking off the first Let's Squash It! challenge of 2022, and the theme is Under The Sea.  Now, before you reach for that I don't have a sea themed folder excuse, as long as you use an embossing folder and we can see the theme you are good to go.  Despite setting this challenge I actually had a mojoless time trying to wrestle my card into submission.  I do have a couple of watery folders, and I started there, and it just wasn't happening.  But after a few false starts, some abandoned fish, turtles and even a narwhal, I settled on a frondy background and a die cut mermaid.

I used Spellbinders Sea Beauty M-Bossabilities folder, embossed pale blue card and patted the embossed texture with Taylored Expressions Sugar Cube ink.  The M-Bossabilities folders are reversible, double sided and a little chunky, so I used it in my bigshot without the bottom plate but with all tabs.  Then I die cut the sizzix mermaid from very pale blue card and used Sky, True and China blue Promarkers to add colour to her hair and tail.   Never used this die before.   No idea why not.  She's rather fun.   The sentiment is Studio Light pre-printed on vellum.  

Grab your folders and your undersea things and join the fun.

Thanks for dropping by.  Hugz
