Countdown to Confetti: Mermaid Kisses & Seaside

Welcome, 'Fetti Fans to Day 1 of the June Release for Reverse Confetti! 

This month is a fantastic release, 

with four new stamps sets & seven new Confetti Cuts!

Today, we're showcasing two adorable new sets 

that both come with coordinating Confetti Cuts: 

Mermaid Kisses and Seaside.

I started by smooshing some tropical teal ink onto my white panel.

I diecut my Mermaid Kisses Confetti Cuts and stamped in the

images using versafine onyx black ink.

I coloured them in using ink pressed onto my acrylic block,

water and a paintbrush.

I embossed my lilac panel using the new Scalloped Cover Panel

Confetti Cuts and applied a little bit of lavender fields

ink with my blending tool.

One of the things that I love about the sets designed by

Dawn Machell is that the sentiments are all in the same font,

so you can easily mix and match from different sets.

Here, I paired the "happy birthday" from Monkey Business

with the fun "fin-tastic" sentiment from Mermaid Kisses.

To finish off my card, I added some rainstones, including

a trio to the flower on the mermaid's head.

For my next card, I was inspired by the current Fusion Card Challenge:

Something Blue photo and sketch to make my card:

I used the new Seaside stamp set & coordinating Seaside Confetti Cuts

to make my card, as well as the new Scalloped Tag Layer Confetti Cuts. 

I started by diecutting my Scalloped Tag Layer Confetti Cut from white cardsock.

I also impressed it onto a piece of watercolour paper and fussy cut it out by hand.

On the watercolour tag, I coloured it in using four Zig markers,

some water and a paintbrush.

Then, I layered the white Scalloped Tag Layer over top.

I layered it over some white cardstock that I trimmed and adhered

to my Bazzill Basics Robin's Egg cardstock.

I stamped the anchor from Seaside onto its coordinating diecut.

I stamped the sentiment onto a strip of vellum in versafine

onyx black and heat embossed it in clear.

Lastly, I have a card to share that was inspired by

 this wooden sign that I found on Pinterest.

I thought it was so fun!

Here's the card it inspired:

 

On a piece of fine linen cardstock, I stamped images from Seaside

and Mermaid Kisses in versamark and then heat embossed them in clear.

Then, I blended Altenew Dusk ink over top with my blending tool.

To make it have more of a "weathered wooden sign look",

I applied some cream acrylic paint to it, using a dry brush technique.

I split the panel with my trimmer and stamped the sentiment onto

another piece of fine linen cardstock, using the "Ahoy!"

from Seaside & "new baby" from the previously released Whole Lotta Happy.
