Scenic Saturday with Amybella: Whimsabella Serene Seastar

Hello!

Amy here with another Scenic Saturday card to share here on the Bellariffic blog. We are still swimming our way through MerMay so I thought I would revisit one of the lovely Whimsabella mermaids that came out last year. I ultimately chose to ink up Whimsabella Mermaid Serene Seastar and some fishy friends from the older Under the Sea Creatures set.

Stamps Used:

It was Whimsabella Mermaid Serene Seastar’s seated pose that got me to choose her over her sisters because her smaller size fit perfectly on this postage collage die. This allowed me to build an under the sea scene across a handful of smaller panels. In the smaller rectangles I stamped shells from the retired Little Bits Sandcastle set and fish from the Under the Sea Creatures set. I then colored each individual panel so that the backgrounds coordinated, sand at the bottom up to the rippling waves at the top. Once all of the panels were colored, I glued them onto the sand-colored card base, within the postage frame. Only then did I grab some other postage themed stamps to add the price on each ‘stamp’ as well as the post marks. The sentiment at the top of the card is from the Mermazing Sentiment set and a sprinkling of clear enamel dots that look like bubbles scattered across the card front bring the whole card together.  🙂

Stay crafty my friends!
