I think this sketch is from last week., anyway, I really liked it so here it is again. Totally different theme this time though. I colored her with Copics then added glitter. The pearls holding her shells up (her top) I did with a white marker then added a shimmer fluid on. I'm also putting this in a color challenge in case you might be wondering why I used a chocolate color for the frames.

Beautiful! I love everything about it - colors, sparkles, everything! And I think the chocolate brown sets off the other colors & really makes them stand out! Beautiful card!

Gorgeous coloring of the mermaid and the added glitter gives the feeling of the scales glistening in the water and sun. Love the "wavy" bg to carry out the sea theme.
