For this card, I wanted a watery looking background, so I started with watery patterned matte paper. To make it look wet I coated the paper with Versamark, sprinkled on clear embossing powder and heated. All of the sea creatures and plants except for the mermaid are images of vintage jewelry. I added Glossy Accents, pearls and rhinestones to add sparkle and dimension. The mermaid tail is made from vellum to which I added multiple layers of green and blue embossing powder. For a final touch I used black Stickles to give it a little sparkle.
