Makin' a Splash with a Mixed Media Mermaid Video Tutorial

Summer is here! So to celebrate the magic of the season, I thought I would create a Mermaid Canvas.

  The Dimensional Crystal created so much texture and sparkle for the seashells - and it is so easy to use.

 

 We will make a simple stencil and mask to create this bubble background - which can also be used for any type of bokeh effect as well.

 So, if you are ready to play along, here is the video. Let's jump in!
