I am happiest when I am at the beach - with sand between my toes and the sunshine on my face. Bliss.
The words in this Darkroom Door stamp just say it all as far as I am concerned. All it needs is for me to turn into a mermaid and I would be so happy. Don't think that is going to happen in the near future either - but I wish. Perhaps in my next life.
The cute little mermaid image was coloured with Derwent Inktense Water Colour pencils and highlighted with glitter pens ad some glitter glue on the little bubbles.
Again - I must complain about my computer. The colour of the ink I used to stamp the words - is called Paradise Teal!!! One shade that my computer won't comprehend. Just imagine a pretty teal green colour.
Hope you enjoy.

Beautifully designed card, Helen. That bg stamp is terrific and the mermaid stamp looks like they are a set. Wonderful colors and coloring. I was given a set of inktrrnse pencils but have never used them...your card has inspired me to find the time to watch some tutorials and try them.
