Hello Everyone...
Sunday evening and just finished work...chomped down my tea and now into peppermint chocolate..I have been really good lately with my munchies.. but guess I fell off the wagon last night and tonight...
So here I am.. "Just Because ".. to share another mixed media scene type project...using the most gorgeous Mermaid image from the Lacy Sunshine Store [in the New section] and she is called..
Pearl Lotus Syren
My background was done with modelling paste and stencils on water cardstock...water paints and splashes of white [up the walls too] and glass beads for bubbles...
I stamped the plants black and highlighted with a white gel pen....the image was coloured with Faber Castell pencils and then fussy cut out and glued into place....
The lovely sentiment is a stamp from Firecracker designs...stamped and glued down...
And the seabed has everything else on it...real sand mixed with coloured moulding paste [just added water paint to the paste, then the sand]...shells.. beads.. starfish.. wire loops.. and fishes which were buttons..fish/fishes?
I made this quite awhile ago and she has been sitting just waiting her turn..and I really like it...I struggled so much in the beginning with this mixed media type of art..but it is getting easier and my hands are starting to listen to my brain...hope you like it too.
Challenges to enter....
All sorts [blue as the ocean]
Alphabet challenge [J is for Jewels]

Just gorgeous Chrissy, love the blue and gorgeous wee air bubbles. I have been very good with my munchies this week, down to one treat a week and I lost a few pounds to boot so pretty pleased with myself but not I want peppermint chocolate!!

Beautiful sea scene! Love love the seabed! Gorgeous!
I love this Chrissy and you've done a fab job on it. Such a beautiful mermaid and I love the shells and those bubbles... wow. Isn't it amazing, I have some of those little pearly things you used but on here they look just like shells.
Beautiful work - I've always wanted to try my hand at something like this but I need to get a little braver.
This is gorgeous Chrissy, I like the image and the scene you have created

'Just for fun' projects are so wonderful as they allow you total freedom to create what you want, and you created a real stunner here :-) The colours and textures are fabulous, a real feast for the eyes!
Big hugs, Kat xx
This is one of my favorite cards of yours, I'm so impressed by the way you handle all that mixed media stuff and the way you decorated the seabed as well. A fantastic fairytale like design!
Oh my word this is absolutely amazing Chrissy!! Love the colors, the image and the texture with the shells and background!! STUNNING! :) HUGS
Nice summery page. Mermaids are favorite of mine-love how you added the shells to really make it beachy.
Wow Chrissy this is one beautiful underwater scene love the image and those bubbles look so realistic, I also love the little seashells and sand it is an awesome creation.

Wonderful card Chrissy. Love how you coloured the image and your usual wonderful way of embellishing! Hugs Susan xx
EEEK...so beautiful! She definitely deserves her day in the sun (some pun intended). I snorted when I read "some on the wall." Seems all things bare witness to art being created. Remember my post on blue paint and window shade? I think seeing those bits years from now will bring warm fuzzies. ;)
Your mixed media project has me frothing at the mouth...just GORGEOUS!!!!
hugs to you,
Lisa
A beautiful card Chrissy, your background is amazing and a wonderfully coloured gorgeous image and such gorgeous pretty details!!
hugs

Hugs,

Magical! The underwater colours and bubbles and layering is fabulous, and I love the sheels on the seabed as well as the beautifully highlighted seaweed. Gorgeous, Chrissy!

This is underwater magic! Wowzers! Regal beauty is the center of your design here. Fantabulous use of the image and your sea is so yummy. Wonderful mixed media techniques. Awesome sauce! Hugz! ~Niki

Hi, I'm sorry for the incredibly late comment but I have had almost no access to the internet for so long! I wanted to make sure I didn't miss anything so I decided to go back to where I left off, and I'm glad I did - I love this card, the scene is amazing!
Thank you for joining us at the Alphabet Challenge Blog, I do hope you can join us again!
