Whimsie Doodles April Showers Challenge! 8-)
Hi all! And a Very Happy Friday to you! 8-) This month over at the Whimsie Doodles blog, we are Challenging you to create a card or project that has a water theme, or some type of water in it, or implements a wet look, ie: glossy accents, dew drops, etc.. So whip up something 'Wet' & come join in the fun!...;-)
For today's Challenge I thought I'd attempt coloring up Melyssa's Darling Starfish Mermaid! I say attempt, as I've had this little Sweetie in my stash for some time now, and her beautiful underwater flowing hair had me totally intimidated, lol Seriously, no joke! Believe it or not it took me 2 full years before I even attempted coloring any images with long wavy hair, lol! Anyway, I just kept checking out Melyssa's Fabulous Make HERE.. And finally got brave and took the plunge! 8-) And as you can see my card was totally inspired by hers! Thanks for the inspiration Miss Melyssa! 8-)
And as you have already Guessed, I colored up this little Sweetie with my trusty Copics and fussy cut her out.. The dp's are Echo Park's Paradise Beach 6x6 collection. I added a Fun Mesh ribbon bow, and though you can't really see it here, I've got Glossy accents on her Sweet Pearl headband and necklace too... 8-)
So!..Would you like to be a Guest Designer for a month?! 8-)... If so, be sure to use a Whimsie Doodles image in your creation and put an asterisk ( * )after your name when you link up your entry! Details can be found on the Whimsie Doodles Blog!
