I don't know if this card will fit the challenge - but there are musical notes embossed in gold down the right hand side.
Of course - who knows what the mermaids sing to the sailors - but boy I would love to hear it.
This beauty is coloured with water colour pencils and paints and the mermaid's tail is coloured with gel sparkle pens - so she is very bright and sparkly and totally irresistible as she sits on her coral reef and sings.
Hope you can see the music on the side. Let me know if you can hear her singing as well.
Enjoy.

well the sirens certainly tried to make sailors crash into the rocks and i'm guessing their music was mesmerizing. that is a beautiful mermaid image, love the gems in her hair. makes me think of the mermaid window in the prefect's bathroom in Harry Potter.

Song of the Sea, perfect and so creative. You've got the musical notes for the bg, I can hear her song. I love your coloring, the vivid colors are marvelous. The sparkle on the mermaid's tale comes through so well. Bet it's even more beautiful IRL. Thanks for playing in my challenge and celebrating the beauty of music.

Oh my, what an awesome mermaid! She looks like she is sitting upon a tuba! You did an outstanding job of coloring her and the colors are very striking and beautiful. The music notes on the side are a perfect addition. Love your card!

That's a super music stamp down the side, I really like that it comes in curves instead of straight lines. And oh my, look at her tail! Incredible colouring.

Wowza I am blown away at the coloring on this and what a gorgeous card she makes. The music BG makes me think of the little mermaid and her wonderful singing.
