All That Stickles - Turquoise Linky Party

So, here I was playing with my gelli plate intending to make a mermaid print and I did too, but what I made here, was created from the stencils I was using to mask with. ( In other words instead of using the pieces that I had cut from the Cricut as a mask, the pieces themselves became part of the art. Each layer was cut from the Cricut, laid onto the Gelli plate and then lifted off after painting. Then each piece was layered on top of each other to make the wall hanging. Each piece was cut out of a trasparency sheet. )
This is my unintentional mermaid. :)
 I say unintentional because I didn't plan on using the Cricut cuts as part of the design, I thought I would be throwing these cuts away.

For each transparency layer there is a coat of gel medium over it so I am assured that the paint won't flake off the plastic transparency. So that's a whole lot of layering, coating with medium and then adding another layer.

 I just LOVE how bright and vibrant the colors came out and since I was using transparencies, any color below shows through the top layer. Each time I peeled up the mask piece I squealed! seriously There are numerous layers here and each one is delicious!

The color themselves are not neon, but laid against this black background and they just zoom off!

I used the turquoise stickles to outline the turquoise seaweed and left the others alone, I did add stickles to the starfishes. 

My mermaid is outlined and a few drop of liquid pearls are added to her, and that's all the garnishment that she needed.
