I seem to get quite a few requests for mermaid cards for people's daughters. So I have a question - do all little girls that can swim think their mermaids?
Anyway..... this image is the most adorable mermaid image I've found so far and the card already has a home. The image is Little Mermaid from Digistampatelier.
I've coloured it in pastel shades using ProMarkers and added some water around her.
Cut out with a Spellbinders die, she's been edged with the same colour pastel aqua.
The papers I've used are from First Edition and Santoro Gorjuss.
Added are a silver anchor and shell from The Ribbon Girl. The cascade of flowers are a mixture from Petaloo and Hobby Craft.
The card has been left black so I can personalise it
