For this blog hop, I decided to make another page for my ongoing album,
please check this links for the other pages: monthly-challenge-61CCC3 challenge and each year.



Here is the 2 pages together with a transparency in-between:



Here the supplies, I used and the steps:

1.- Water color the image from PND: Mermaid Ellie in Clam Shell and cut strips of specialty paper included in a monthly kit from Hero Stamps:

2- color the waves from the specialty paper with a liquid ink, which has a nice shimmer to it

3- add the paper strips to the background and add some bubbles to the watercolored-image using the Nuvo Chrystal drops, also included in the monthly kit from Hero Stamps:

a closer look to the bubbles:

4- Add some dimension with glitter paste  and stencils from BoBunny:


5- Add the image to the finished background. I also cut some photo mats out of mesh and I made one out of the step 2-prepared wave papers. and add some die cuts and some sequins:

I stamped: The world is your Oyster, you are the Pearl.


For the transparency:
1- add sponge some waves using Fluessiges Edelmettal from Viva and a Hero Stamps stencyl:

2- some dimension

3- the title: Como Peces en el Agua (like fish in water):

4- adding some finishing touches with enamel accents: fish-eyes, whole in the letters to make them more readable:
finished transparency
 I left some space in the middle for a picture:
