There are many stamps and digis that I just want to colour- I find it relaxing and so enjoyable. They get coloured and put away in a box, many never get made into cards although I always intend to. This lovely mermaid ( Ching- Chou Kuik- Klimt style mermaid) was in the box, sad and neglected. I die cut an aperture from the front of a black card blank and embossed what was left, threaded some beads onto a wire and tied it round the left hand side, popped the image in place then, using a gold gel pen, drew a line around the frame. Finished- a 'just because' card to send to a friend or use as a notelet.
Now for the rest of the images in the box....
Thanks for stopping by

Chris: It's hard for to tell this is a mermaid but I know the image's artist majority of work is mythical/magical creatures. Your colors and layout design are very dramatic and attention-getting! Very bold! Thanks for sharing at TFATU! --Becca/owner
Sounds good to me Chris, my unread book pile mounts because the same happens with cards, I need to sort my priorities me thinks.
She's a very sassy image and as always such perfect colouring.

As long as your doing things you Love...Think we all have earned it!
She is far to gorgeous to be in a box Chris, you were so right to use her at last, a beautiful card. I think we are all guilty of this though, I have lots left to wait in a box or folder until I descover them again.xx
Beautiful card and colouring.

Me again Chris, I sent you a mail but as several I've sent this week seem to have ended up in spam folders thought best mention just in case.
Absolutely stunning! Love that awesome background and that image is a wow factor... xx
This is absolutely gorgeous and I love your eye for detail, right down to the beautiful threaded beads. Love this. Michelle x
If I could colour like you Chris I would be doing the same. I love to colour but just no good at it lol. The shading on this image is just amazing!
Fabulous image and super gorgeous card! I love the string of beads.
Stunning card Chris! I am guilty of having a great many stamps I don't play with, because I'm doing DT creations. Encouraging to see this post. Beautiful job and lovely texture too. Hugs, Wends xoxo
What a beautiful mermaid! I’m guilty of putting colored images in a box as well. I always intend on turning them into cards, but then I see how many there are and I put them back in the box for another day. LOL You turned her into an amazing card! Thank you for sharing and playing along with Polkadoodles ~Wendy
I share your comment - it's hard to find time to post outside of DT card. But I'm glad you took the time to do that. Lovely card for sure! Thanks for joining us at Polkadoodles Crafting. Pam, DT
