The glowing Mermaid

Afternoon all, well finally back from our fantastic little break, we had a wonderful time, although it is catching up with me now!!! Anyway I thought I had done this before I went.... Obviously not as its not here, and so im here today with a creation for the Simply B Facebook Challenge.  Every motnth Betty kindly allows us an image to work with and a theme, we have a month to play - This month we had the choice of two images and the theme of 'Good v's Evil'.

 

I chose to use the gorgous Spika the Bad Mermaid - she is available here from the store. At first I had all these wild and wonderful ideas of what I was going to do, but the past few weeks have caught up on me and I let her slip to the back of the pile.  Then when I looked again I was stumped as to what to do with her - I really should make more notes as I go!

 

Anyway I did eventually come up with something - on this occasion I had to keep her quite simple, but I think she has turned out OK

 

 

I coloured her with copics

 

YG00, YG01

The tag was cut by hand and the sea weed and crab were cut on my cameo.  The flowers were white but I covered them with TH DI Black Soot to make them black, the pin is from my stash! Well I hope you like her - If you have a moment I would love to know what you think

 

I would like to enter this tag into the following challenges;

Just a Little Thank you

Morning all - well today I'm catching up with myself - so much to do and don't know where to start... so I decided a quick post was in order!

Anyway as some of you know Amelia had a 'crash course' in swimming last week, she had a fab time and the teacher was amazing! - so proud of Amelia for all she achieved and the teacher for being so patient with her! So anyway... on the 2nd lesson the teacher was going through 'butterfly' when Amelia did it her first question to her was.... do you think you Ariel?? This had me in creases! So what a better design for a thank you card than Ariel? 

Now I always wanted to be a mermaid when I was little - and I always wanted 'ariel' colour hair! I trawled google looking for a 'Ariel colouring page' when i came across this one and I thought her pose was perfect to say thank you! 

She was coloured with copics; 

E000, E00, E02, R20, R83, B06

R08, R27, R29

V04, V06

G02, G43

Im so happy with how her hair turned out... perfect colour I think! I added a little peel off thank you to the corner as I didn't want too much and then Amelia wrote a lovely little message in it for her!
