For today's Color Challenge, I created an underwater scene. I stamped the mermaid & octopus first, masked, then stamped the sand castle, sand lines, seaweed, bubbles and splatter (for sand). I added some dots of masking fluid to her tail section so when I colored it, they would stay white. After I was finished, I rubbed it off. I like how it looks like the sparkle of the scales. I added a large circle frame, the greeting, shells and more sand.
I cut around her tail & a few of the octopus tentacles to slide the edge of the circle frame under. It may be hard to see, but I also added some clear Wink of Stella here & there all over for some sparkle. In real life, it's super sparkly!
Thanks so much for looking! Closeups & Copic colors are on my blog: The Write Stuff

I adore the underwater scene you've created, Julie. All the creatures and the castle are beautifully colored and placed, and I love the punny sentiments!
