OK, now that I have all those who read the post title humming that song in their heads... :-D This sweet mermaid image is from Lemon Shortbread and this is one of the images I chose when I was a winner at one of their recent challenges. Of course, I also went on a shopping spree so maybe this is one I bought - I don't actually remember.
I colored with ProMarkers, added glitter ink to the bubbles, then cut both the image and the dp frame with Wonky Square dies from Spellbinders. Instead of lining up the frame exactly with the image, I turned the frame a quarter turn which seemed to accent the 'wonkiness' of the die cuts. I also cut the printed sentiment with the smallest wonky die but this time I had to do it in two cuts, moving the die before the second cut to fit the size of the sentiment.
I used a scrap of mesh 'ribbon' and I think it added to the ocean theme. I found the seahorse charm in my stash and used it as the primary embellishment. I wanted the design to be as CAS as possible so that the image would be showcased.
