Sabrina fair,
Listen where thou art sitting
'Neath the glassy cool translucent wave
In twisted braids of lillies knitting
The loose train of thy amber-dropping hair,
This is for Carla's VSN challenge - a image with hair, and alter the hair in some way. I thought this was going to be the hardest challenge for me, but I had a total ball making this, inspired by my namesake ;-). And a stamp I've had for so long that I don't think any of my cards with her are in my gallery here.
Pink Cat Studio mermaid, stamped in Smokey Grey and embossed with clear EP. Inktense pencils for hair, then stitched with metallic thread. H2Os for tail, Glossy Accents on bikini. Timeless textures for background. Lots of Stickles here and there, more stitching and a gold leafing pen around the edge.
For lilies in her hair, I added tiny punched circles shaped with a stylus and a drop of Liquid Pearls in the centre. I added gems for her diadem and called it a day.
All the challenges will be found on the master challenge thread which is HERE.

Thank you for adding this beautiful card to my challenge. It is such a whimsical work of art Sabrina! I love how you used the stitching, sequins and jewels.

Gold stitches, that gold leaf pen - I MUST get one!, such a light touch that makes it all a gossamer delight.
