Get Creative Challenges #43

Happy July everyone.  I hope you are keeping cool, where ever you are.  I am pleased to announce that I am once again back with Get Creative Challenges Design Team.  I am excited to be working with some very talented ladies.

Today, I am sharing with you a fun card.  Mermaids seem to be all the rage these days, and who am I to not share in the fun.  This challenge is sponsored by Ikeart, and wow, what fabulous images they have to work with, whether you are doing a card, a mixed media arts project, or a scrapbook page.   For this card, I am using the mermaid.

With a theme of Celebrations, I knew just what I wanted for this project, but had to figure out how to do it.  After many trial and error sessions, I finally got the look I needed and wanted using Photoshop to color my image.  The rest was easy enough to do.  She turned out beautiful, and because I did not want to take away from the design, I chose to stay clean and simple.  The one thing I wanted to do and did not was add Wink of Stella to her for some sparkle.  I chickened out, because as I siad, I did not want to take anything away from the fabulous image.
