Hi Friends!
Way back in April, I saw this card on Handmade by Christine and was smitten with the way Christine colored the mermaid. I adored the purple hair! And I wanted to see if I could color the hair with pencils to look somewhat similar. So I picked up the digi image here at Tiddly Inks and started coloring. My crafting time has been so limited recently that I had to put the image aside. Well, yesterday I finished with the hair and added some sparkle. Today I fussy cut her and played around with some distress inks (Salty Ocean, Peacock Feathers, Tumbled Glass and a bit of Seedless Preserves). I added some misting of water mixed with Perfect Pearls and at the last minute decided it needed a few sequins. Oh and I embossed the Cuttlebug swirls onto the background piece. Thought they would mimic water, sorta, kinda.
Here's how the card turned out.
Feel free to enlarge if you want. I brushed on some Diamond Dust Stickles here, there and everywhere.
And a close up, just because.
I have to admit I'm pretty happy with the final result.
:)
Yay for summer break!
I can sneak away a bit more.
Eeek!
Thanks so much for stopping by!
Have a happy day.
Hugs,
Jeanne
