Hello Everyone...
It is inspiration day for IMAGINE THAT DIGISTAMPS and we have some wonderful guests joining in with the DT so do try to pop over HERE and have a looksee...
For my project I used this gorgeous Mermaid image..MERMAID SWIMMING
She was all coloured up with Reno Art markers and fussy cut out...
I cut to size for a card and forgot to leave a decent border edge so she looks like she is scraping her belly along the bottom of the seabed..
The background was done with a dark blue marker then I added some water here and there...mopped up the excess with paper towel and it left little bubbles...
That gorgeous die cut of vines was from my Aussie mate Annie [ I must find out what it is called as I want it]..and it makls for a lovely undersea hanging plant.
A few seed beads along the bottom with torn kraft paper and it was done...
So there we go...thanks so much for stopping by...
Luv CHRISSYxx

I LOVE this card Chrissy - your coloring of this mermaid is beautiful, and the diecut vines give a nice pop of white against the dark blue. What a neat technique you found to create bubbles too! xKristy
Sweet Little mermaid, beautiful colouring and I love your card design.

She's gorgeous and beautifully coloured. Love the scene and the bubbly water is brilliant. Big hugs, Carol S,xxxx
She's charming - and I love the dangling fronds of seaweed (pretty on the card, not so pretty wrapped round my legs when I'm swimming!).

Fantastic coloring, Chrissy, I really love her hair! The blue background makes a great sea. I've never thought of adding droplets to a marker made background, I didn't think you'd get this effect. Looks great!
Beautiful image and fabulous background
