I don’t know about you, but I’m absolutely doing a happy dance at the sight of another fab tutorial from Sandiebella!
I’ve been meaning to put a scene together with Oddball Mermaid for a while. I knew I wanted to colour her using coloured pencils, but I was feeling a little lazy. Thankfully I had an aha moment when I saw some blue card in my drawer. Just a hint of pencil along the line of the sandy ocean floor, and it gives it enough life without inducing serious hand cramp! Stamps Used: Oddball Mermaid stamp set, Under the Sea Backdrop, Under the Sea Sentiment set
Skin: Chestnut, Clay Rose, Nectar, Peach Eyes: Espresso, Parma Violet, 10% Cool Grey Hair: Black, Black Raspberry, Tuscan Red, Henna, Tail: Black Grape, Violet, Parma Violet, Peacock Blue, Aquamarine, Light Aqua Fish: 70% Cool Grey, Light Cerulean Blue, 20% Cool Grey Trident: Artichoke, Yellow Ochre, Deco Yellow Foreground Kelp: Sepia, Kelp Green, Apple Green Backdrop Kelp: Olive Green, Sap Green Light Sand: Sepia, Sandbar Brown, Yellow Ochre, Sand Sea: Dioxazine Purple Hue, Parma Violet That’s it! Hope you have a great day. MWAH! Elaineabella

Happy Thursday! Sandie’s got a beautiful tutorial for us again this week. Enjoy!
For the layers, cut a piece of card measuring 2″ x 6.5″ and another piece measuring 5″ x 3.5″
Cut a piece of paper measuring 5 3/8″ x 5 3/8″ and fold in half.
Adhere the paper to the card base and bend both sides upwards into a ‘v’
Take the 5″ x 3.5″ piece of card and create a curve by rolling it over your fingers. Fold the 0.5″ end sections back at the scorelines.
Cut a thin wedge from each end of the 0.5″ sections.
Flatten the card base and adhere the smaller panel in the centre, approx 1/4″ up from the bottom.
Cut a piece of paper measuring 3 3/8″ x 3 7/8″ and adhere to the smaller panel.
For the front strip, curl the 2″ x 6.5″ over your fingers and fold back the 0.5″ end sections.
Adhere a piece of paper measuring 1 7/8″ x 5 3/8″ to the front
Apply double sided tape to the inside of the 0.5″ sections.
Taper the edges of each end.
Adhere one end of the strip behind the card base, lining it up with the bottom
Bring the strip across the front and adhere the other end behind the card base.
Stamp the Love Story Squidgies onto white card and colour using your desired medium.
Apply foam tape to the back of the Squidgies and adhere them to the middle panel, just above the front strip.
Adhere the tag across the front strip, and use the die cut embellishments to decorate as desired.
