Shabby Chic Mermaid (A Day For Daisies)

Hi everyone!

Here's a card I've made using a Mermaid Digi from A Day for Daisies!

It's the first time I've used one of their images and this was quite different to what I usually colour but I really enjoyed it! I wasn't sure how to go about the hair at first, and I wanted to keep a pale shabby chic look. 

I'm quite pleased with how the whole thing turned out!





I used:

He loves me not - A Day For Daisies Digi
Coloured with Promarkers
Added liquid pearls in her hair & on the flowers, & glitter glue on her tail

Papers - Fairy Belle by Jodie Lee
Flowers - Petal Lu
Pink Seam binding & Lace 'Barbara' - The ribbon girl
Pink heart sparkler, Sentiment stamp & 2mm Pearl from Stash






Thanks so much for visiting!

I'm sooo pleased the weather is cooler! Feeling much better!

    Hello Lucy, I'm finally back online after moving home and am catching up with all the lovely makes I've missed. This is so pretty, love the distressed edges to the paper. I hope the heat is not making you feel too bad, I've practical gone into hibernation as has my Newfoundland, we have to take our walks very early in the morning or late in the evening to avoid the heat! Creative Blessings, Tracy x
