I used Manatee Pals
I used my Gel Press and Krafty Kolours ink in Mermiad Melody, Lovely Lagoon, Purple Pansy and Raspberry Rose. I then lightly brayered the colors together and then stamped into the ink on the Gel Press.
Then I laid my white paper on the Gel Press and pulled the print up.
When you stamp into the ink, it removes the ink in the section and looks like a resist. I matted the print and then colored the Manatees with my Copics. W9, W7, W5, W3 and W1 with some R20. I also stamped some of the shells and seaweed on the Spring Paper Panels Kit and then cut them out. Thanks for stopping by,
Check out the Manatee Pals in action as you hop around the dt blogs today! So many amazing underwater creations!

Blast Off: I created two cards one with Krafty Kolours ink background and one with Alcohol ink.
Finished Background
I colored them with my Copics:
Skin: E04, E11, E21, E00 and E000

I colored them with Copics:
Skin: E04, E11, E21, E00 and E000
Hair and Fur: E29, E25 and E21
Black: W9, W7, W5 and W3
White: W3 and W1
Grey: W5, W3 and W1
Red: R29, R24 and R22
Gold: YR27, YR23 and Y23
I used the Krafty Kolours ink to create the space background and once it was done, I splattered Copic white over the top to create stars.
I added a die cut space ship, planet and stars as well as a planet for them to stand on. I stamped the sentiment onto the flag to finish off the card. The blue layer is the Kraftin Kimmie pearlized paper pannel.
