I'd like to share this card I made just for fun today! I've been on several different stamping sites lately and I came across a card with an image by Dew Drop Craftz and I had to go investigate. I'm totally enjoying coloring people with my Copic markers and I'm really drawn to the manga style images with the big expressive eyes. This little mermaid is one in a set of two, I'll show you the other cute little mermaid soon, I promise!
After coloring her with Copic markers I added SU Crystal Effects with a small paint brush and spooned some SU Dazzling Diamonds glitter on her fins and the star that's punched from SU More Mustard card stock. I also used the Crystal Effects on her eyes to make them shine. She's much more dazzling in person! The card body is made from SU Taken With Teal and the designer paper is from a pad by Me & My Big Ideas, Destination Paradise.
The sketch is from There She Goes Challenge #58.
