My DT sistah Tine has called for "turquoise" this week at Mo's Digital Pencil. LOVE this color! I've used "Melia on her shell phone" and broke in my brand new Lattice die which most of got covered up. LOL The card is very simply designed. To be honest the mini album rather knocked out my craftiness so this card started out in a complete different vein than it ended.
It's very hard to see in the photo, but I did a bit of stipling around the image with my Copics and then went back on top of them with Glossy Accents to make bubbles. It looks much better IRL. I hand cut the seaweed and then sprayed it with Pearl Perferct Pearls for some shimmer. Melia has a light coating of Green Patina Perfect Pearls which is totally lost in this photo. sigh.....
Grab all your turquoise goodies and a Mo image and come play along for a chance at a $5.00 gift voucher from Mo's store.
Happy Thursday!

I can't believe how realistic the seaweed looks, Tracy! I had to enlarge the picture to take a good look at it. I can see the bubbles, what a great detail. Of course your coloring is perfect, as always. This is a gorgeous card, full of wonderful details.
P.S.: Thanks for your beautiful comment. I chose that image because I saw the last card you made using it. I left you a comment on that post that I was going to purchase it to use it for Ivonne.
Hugs,

Hi Tracy, trying to catch up a bit. Sorry been missing of late. I think I even missed Mo's hop this time :((
Gorgeous card, I love the mermaid and so beautifully coloured.

I love the contrast in this card's palette. It really makes the gorgeous die cutting stand out. Melia is beautiful and I imagine even more so IRL with the Perfect Pearls.A gorgeous card, girlie!
Love your card and your little mermaid. The different design elements you used to frame your image are so fun, the pearls, seaweed, turquoise flower, stitching, and other design elements are awesome as always my talented friend :)
Woo hoo!!!! Love turquoise!!! I have that same Martha punch "shells" for when I do mermaid layouts !!! Love it!!!
What a perfect challenge... I wonder if I have any Mo's images...!?!
Your coloring looks fantastic & yes, we've all felt what it's like to run out of mojo...!
Had that happen to me yesterday, too... On a teal card.!
My fave ... But, just couldn't make it happen...
Gorgeous! Love the mainly one colour look and the image is completely adorable :)
GF!!
