The Rabbit Hole Designs- By The Shore & Mermaid Hair



Welcome to Day 2 of The Rabbit Hole Designs June release.  We are hopping again and have tons of amazing inspiration to share.  

Today we have two more new sets, By The Shore and Mermaid Hair.  Click on the names to go directly to the sets. 😁 They are both immensely cute!



Here are the cards I created featuring these sets. 



I love this combo of colors and the texture of the paper.  It makes the perfect backdrop for this sweet island girl.  I stamped her and colored her using my Copics.  I used a series of dies with rounded corners (I don't know who makes them) and layered them together.  I placed her on the blue so she would stand out.  I die cut the clouds and added some twine as an accent. 



For this one, I started with a die cut circle.  I stamped the scene and used a series of masks (post-it notes) and distress inks to make the colors. Then I came in with Copics to add the color to the boat, rock and seagull.  I stamped the girl again and colored her and cut her out so I could pop her out in the scene.  I paper pieced her dress using some bright yellow paper with white hearts (the hearts don't really show) and I added a few accents with my Copics.  I used a gel pen for the waves. Next I cut the palm trees with a die from Gina Marie dies.  I added extra color to them with distress inks.  The background is a piece of flashy DP cut with a Wonky Stitches die, mounted on pink. This one is loud and proud. ;)




Next up is Mermaid Hair.  I did a little stamp "surgery" on this stamp and removed the jellyfish from the main image.  Not because I don't like it... on the contrary, I LOVE IT!  So I wanted to use it more.  And the mermaid, she is adorable!  I asked a friend, "what color is mermaid hair?"  She said pink...so OK! I stamped her and colored her with my Copics.  I stamped 6 jellies, colored them one for each color of the rainbow.  I fussy my mermaid and her jellyfish tops (not the tentacles) out.  I added shimmer to the mermaid and set her aside.  Next I pulled out this wave paper from Doodlebug Designs and die cut it using my deckle edge die, I stamped the sentiment which is from the Beach Day set.  I stamped my main image and my jellyfish.  Then I added the parts I had fussy cut and popped them out with dimensionals.  I added glossy accents to the bubbles and the jellies.  I mounted all this on another layer of DP, also cut with the deckle edge and mounted that on a white card base. 



For this last one, I couldn't resist the thought of making her go around on a circle slider (from MFT).  So I stamped and colored her with my Copics, I used colors for her that mimicked the Little Mermaid's coloring.  I fussy cut her out, along with the fish.  There is some sparkle on her tail, though I am sure you can't see it here. The paper is from Doodlebugs and perfect for this scene.  The sentiment is fun along the bottom with that orange fishy.  Here are a few more images showing her go around:
