I couldn’t let the summer go by without inking up the Whimsabella mermaid rubber stamps from Stamping Bella.

Shaker card inspiration featuring Stamping Bella Whimsabella Starfish Sparkle rubber stamp coloured using Copic markers.

I love her hair so much! The sentiment is from Waffle Flower, and just happened to be one I had stamped up and die cut already, which fit beautifully. To create the shaker window I used the background die from the Spellbinders June Small Die of the Month set – Mahalo Sea Turtle. I then added some iridescent dewdrops to the bubble details from the die. Inside the shaker window I added a mixture of sequins and beads from my stash.
