I had a fun couple of coloring days and the best part was sharing them with my eldest granddaughter. She colored a couple of images which you'll see on cards later on and then, on this Mermaid from Fabrika Fantasy, I colored the background and she did the mermaid. It seems our coloring styles are very much alike. Other than knowing which of us did which part, I don't think I'd be able to tell any difference. We were both using polychromos pencils.
Rather than using dies to cut the image, this time I did the old tried-and-true tearing on the image and again on the mat. The wide strip is dp from K & Co. and the narrow strip at the top is ribbon from my stash. The fish charm is actually a shank button with the shank removed.
Challenges:
Crafting from the Heart
Crafting with Dragonflies
Digi Choosday
Fairy and Unicorn
House of Cards
Lemon Shortbread
Paper Nest Dolls
Through the Craft Room Door
We're nearly half-way through the weekend (depending on when you started counting it as the 'weekend') and mine has been productive and busy. Hope yours is going well. Happy Stamping. NanaConnie
In putting the card together, I used the sketch
from The Outlawz.
