Good morning!! I am so thrilled to share that I am a guest designer for the Ellen Hutson July 2017 newsletter and am over at The CLASSroom today with a project using alcohol inks along with the new Essentials by Ellen Mermaid’s Tail! Here’s a sneak peek of one of my cards but please head over to The CLASSroom for more! 😉
Lots of sparkle, shimmer, and shine…definitely my style! If this is your first time visiting my blog I hope you’ll stop by again! You can subscribe to my blog via the sidebar or follow me on Youtube or Instagram! Thanks so much for visiting and have a fantastic day!
The awesome ladies over at Ellen Hutson have generously given me a $50 gift certificate to share with one of my lucky readers! Head over to The CLASSroom to see both cards and then come back here and tell me which one you prefer! 😉 Leave a comment before 11:59 PM EST on Friday, July 21st and I’ll announce the winner next weekend! Good luck!!

I love the second card more, but both are great.

Both are beautiful! I love your alcohol ink backgrounds! But the orange tail wins for me because of how it pops more from the blues and stands out better. Thanks so much!
Nicole N. says
Both cards are beautiful. I think I am favoring the pink mermaid tail a little more. The sequin bubbles got me!
Donna Gibson says
Wow, these cards are stunning! Thank you for sharing the technique. I can’t wait to give it a try! My preference is the blue/green one. I’m really into those colors more than the red tones.
Kathy Mc says
Since there is no definitive answer to which one I like best, they really are two different designs. Your blue/green waves and mermaid tails in the first look so realistic, but yet the salmon one is more CAS with only one tail and it pops. Love the sequin bubbles, too, so I’ll pick card #2. My EH wish list keeps growing so I hope I’m a winner! Great work, Jessica!

Your cards are stunning! I thought I liked the first all blue one better, but then when I really looked closer, I love the pop of red/pink/purpley color and bubbles in the second. Absolutely beautiful and shimmery!!
Patt H. says
Your cards are fabulous! I love the colors, the gorgeous shimmer & shine & the awesome sequin trail of bubbles
Ann says
I am always inspired by your way of playing with color. Lovely card and the sparkle is the perfect touch.

Jessica the mermaid tail cards are so stunning!!! Honestly can’t pick between a both have wonderful details. WOOO!
Dorothy C. says
Great technique with alcohol inks. I’m partial to the pink card tail probably because of the sequin bubbles but both are stunning. You certainly have a knack for all that ‘sparkles’. I follow you on IG but need to visit your blog more often. Thanks for sharing your creativity.

Your cards are just beautiful. I love the backgrounds that you created, they are stunning. I can’t wait to try it, it would some gorgeous paper to die cut fall leaves from. Or using bright colors for balloons, my brain is in overdrive now! I will definitely be back stalking your blog!

You knocked it outta the water, girl! Your alcohol ink seas are absolutely gorgeous. And I guess in keeping with the color of the water, I prefer the blue mermaid 😉
Mary-Anne V. says
I really like these cards….the effect created with the alcohol inks is amazing. I love the second card where the mermaid tail stands out a little more and the sequin’s bubbles following the tail is a great visual effect.
Daria Z. says
OMG, both cards are ah-MAZ-ing! What a cool technique – definitely want to give it a try. I love the silver embossing on the first card. But, I love the trail of sequins on the second card.
TaeEun says
Wow!!! Both cards are gorgeous!!! The heat embossed mermaids tail and the spectacular alcohol ink backgrounds look amazing together! Two great cards, Jessica!!!
