Make It Crafty has a great new release, so we are celebrating with a blog hop. There are great prizes, so I hope you will hop with us!
Be sure to check out all the blogs so you can see all the gorgeous creations. I will be offering this sweet Dolphin image to one lucky commenter for this post, so be sure to leave a comment and let me know you stopped by. Each blog in the blog hop will be offering an image, so be sure to visit the other blogs as well.
There will also be prizes for those who comment on the store blog post including...
a. Whole Collection
b. Collection of Elements
c. Collection of Pre-Made scenes
Be sure to leave your comment on the store blog post to be entered into the drawing for the prizes. The hop will go through Sunday and winners announced on Monday.
The new release is call "Under the Sea." It is a wonderful collection of underwater images, seahorses, dolphins, mermaids, and other elements to decorate your scene.
When I saw the collection, I thought it would be perfect for a spinner card. This gives the effect of the dolphin jumping through the waves.
The three pictures above show how the dolphin rolls along the waves.
The picture above gives you an idea of how the process works. I used 2 pennies (cheapest embellishments around - hehe). I covered the pennies with paper to help them blend in with the scene. The weight of the pennies help the image roll along.
To create the underwater effect, I used two things...my Copics Airbrush System and a variety of blue Copics to create the wavy effect. The sand is gold colorful glitter. The picture does not do it justice. I added some little shells as embellishments.
We are not just celebrating this new release, but also Make It Crafy's new illustrator, Marina. Her work is gorgeous! I love Marina's Under the Sea collection, especially the beautiful mermaids and adorable seahorses.
