Eternal love


This amazing image from Aurora Wings, Dark Goth Mermaid with a Skull, inspired me to do a love/valentines card.  My hubby's comments "it's beautiful but a little creepy" - excellent just the feeling I was going for :)

The image is coloured with ProMarkers, cut with a Spellbinders die then edged with Antique Linen Distress ink from Tim Holtz.  I've used some biro to highlight her hair.  Here's a close up of the image so you can see the colouring in more detail.


Design papers are from Santoro's Gorjuss, Lili of the Valley and Craft Creations.

The leafy plants have been created using Sizzix Garden Greens die (Tim Holtz) with paper from Lili of the Valley.  They have been highlighted with a Sandstone ProMarker on the bottom edge to give them some depth.

The silver anchor bead is from The Ribbon Girl, the silver shell and fish beads I found on Amazon.

The eternal love sentiment is home made and cut out using a Spellbinders die.  This gas also been edged with Sandstone ProMarker.

The final touch some black and white pearl self adhesive gems.

Hope you like my beautiful creepy card :)
