Mixed Media Mermaid Postcard

Hello,

Here is my 1st mixed media postcard. I used the rubberstamp Smushasha by Stampotique.

I used a piece of Tim Holtz's watercolour paper. 

I used a bunch of different Distress Inks and then sprayed the entire sheet with water.

I used a diamond stamp and black Staz On.

I used a Simon Says Stamp star stencil and Fired Brick Distress Ink in the middle. I then randomly placed purple and blue stars using Peacock Feathers and Seedless Preserves Distress Ink.

I then sprayed the entire thing with Tattered Angels Glimmer spray in Trunk Bay to give an all over shimmer.

I coloured the mermaid with Prismacolour markers and fussy cut her out. I used a Ranger embossing pen and some gold embossing powder for the bow in her hair. 

I added Ranger's holographic embossing powder over her entire body and tail. 

Here's an upclose look:

I decided to make her fly by giving her some butterfly wings. The butterfly is an Inkadinkado stamp and I added Stickles in icicles along the edges after colouring and fussy cutting it out.

I used a die for the word believe from My Little Yellow Bicycle. I covered it in Versmark and embossed it in silver. I added a diamond gem for the dot of the i. 

I edged around the rest of the sentiment with a silver Gel pen.

I would like to enter this in the following challenges:
