#185 Down by the Beach

Hi,
Well its my turn to choose this theme over at myshericrafts and I've gone for a summer theme. Anything to do with the beach so I'll be looking out for seashells, fish and even a mirmaid or two!!



Here is my card,

I've used a brand new image I have by Sherri Baldy called Steam Punk Mermaid (image 077) and I've coloured her in using my Promarker Pens. I also used up some papers left over from a crop I attended with  merlyimpressions last year. The papers are from the Paradiso collection, I used bits of Sandy Toes and Relaxation. I've also fussy cut out the two different flowers to add to the corners. I stamped a birthday message using a Verve stamp from the Be Blessed set. To finish off I added a few gems and a couple of stickers from the 7Gypsies E for escape set (I've had that for years), I put a touch of glossy accents on the goggles and the bubbles too.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you will leave a word or two. Check out the rest of the teams makes there are some great one there.

I am also entering my card in the following challenges too...

  3. Sue, this is amazing! I love the image that you used, it's so adorable. The background paper works perfectly and doesn't take away the focus from the mermaid. I love that basket weave strip of paper too. Clean, crisp, and great dimensions and texture. Love it!
