Stay Salty [er]

Between the LOADS of fun I have every Monday, I'm sneaking in with that Second Helping of Saltiness I promised using the fun Stay Salty set from Ellen Hutson, LLC!

This time, that fun little wave die was watered down … with water-coloring, that is!  I've found a few Copic markers that pair beautifully with my Catherine Pooler inks - totally Copic-friendly, and these inks water-color beautifully, too!


The sweet little Inner Mermaid had to make a splash!
 

 
and a little two-toned inking works
for the idea of a sun setting!
 
 

I've added an all-over layer of glossy accents on this sweet little bottle - wish it had photographed better, but it will be washing up in a sweet someone's mailbox soon!

I hope my playtime with this fun set will make you take a closer look at some of your own … thanks for making my Monday a fun day by your visits!

    Fabulous...makes me want to go shopping! Alas, a needed new laptop will be soaking up the crafty funds until September. Thank goodness for wish-lists.

    The mermaid tail tucked among the waves is adorable! But that little bottle floating in the waves is just the sweetest thing. My first thought was of the Kevin Costner movie Message in a Bottle! Sad ending, good movie!

    All are gorgeous--love your watercoloring! The last design with the bottle nestled in the waves is so sweet. Love the sentiment too!
