Twofer Card Challenge #19: Nautical

We're going nautical this month at the Twofer Card Challenge!  My twofer of choice is a mermaid stamp from MFT's Mermazing stamp set:

I spread alcohol ink on yupo paper and cut it out using that wavy cutter from Creative Memories that I purchased in 2001.  It's nice to still get use out of old tools.  The mermaid was colored with Copics, but then I covered her tail and accessories with Nuvo drops to see if I could get a good texture - meh.

On this next card, I masked around the fish bowl and stamped the images twice - inside the card, and on the front panel.  I cut a circle out of the fish bowl and added an acetate window.  I colored the edges of the scene on the front panel, and the inside scene to match.

 This is the inside of the card:
