I'm back again with my second card for today...this one is for the new challenge at Sweet Stampin', a really fun theme for this week - unusual hair colour! I seem to have made a lot of fairy themed cards lately so I thought I'd go for a mermaid , just for a change! This gorgeous image is by Hannah Lynne she's called Rochelle and is available here at Crafts and Me, who are very kindly sponsoring us this week.
I really enjoyed colouring this... I used copics for her skin and hair (not sure if green IS an unusual colour for a mermaid's hair...) and some lovely Cosmic Shimmer acrylic drawing ink brush pens for her tail and 'clothing'. These are so lovely and shimmery, perfect for fins and scales! The design is very similar to my card on Wednesday (scroll down to view!) this time I used a DpP with a large shell to back m y image and added a die cut scroll.
There are some fabulous cards for you to enjoy from my lovely teamies over at Sweet Stampin', with some wild and wonderful hair colours to whet your imagination! We'd love to see what you come up with for this fun challenge, so get stamping, get colouring and join in!
Have a lovely weekend.
Chris

She is beeyouteeful! And whether or not it's unusual for a mermaid, it's a colour I've never had personally, so I'd say it's pretty unusual indeed! lol. x

Chris this is fabulous hunny. Totally swooned the minute I saw it on our DT blog! LOVE the fab hair on this, yes, very mermaidy, but unusual for we mere mortals! LOL. The mix of the blue and green looks so stunning and she's perfectly coloured in every little detail. The shimmer is fab! I didn't see the similarity in the cards at all either! So different, with their different papers and colours etc, totally didn't spot it. Love the scroll and the two tone effect you achieved there too. Gorgeous with the shell background. This is just a truly stunning card hun. Love it! Hugs, Wends x
