This month's release is all about the sea!  And the sea wouldn't be the sea with out a few beach babes... MERMAIDS that is!

Meet "Serena Sparkles"!

I chose to highlight just Serena on my card so I kept it fairly simple and just stamped our little mermaid babe and then coloured in the back ground using Copic Markers.

First I stamped the image and then I using my Copic Airbrush system to lay down some even blue colour for the water. Then I used long strokes of all kinds of blues, light greens and teals to get the light effect traveling through the water.


Now go and leave some much needed love on my co-designer's blogs today!


Thanks for stopping by!
