7 Kids Crafts: Shimmer Redkelp

Hello Everyone!

It's Sweet November Stamps Vault Release week over at 7KidsCrafts.com and in honor of Mermay these cuties have swam out to play. There are 3 mermaids and their 3 little pals.
You can chose to get the entire bundle or the 1-3 mermaids with their companion.

For this card I had a chance to play with Shimmer Redhelp and I began with Copic markers

but being the naughty crafter that I am... I don't really clean my nibs so I had 

lots of blotchiness going on. To fix my booboo I rescued the coloring with Polychromos 

colored pencils on the top to hide my errors and eventually I kept

adding details with the pencils. I also printed another image in the same

size so I use it as a mask and color up the entire background

with Distress Oxide.

I also made a Youtube video to show how I created the scales.
