Cool challenge and you're right, it is hard to photograph! The background was stamped first with the Sea Plant, masked, and then stamped with Schoolin' Fish. Then I mixed Cool Carribbean reinker for the first glimmer wash, with some PP bronze. Made another bottle with a mixture of five drops of Brilliant Blue and Bordering Blue with PP white, because I wanted to use both to make a more authentic looking 'sea.' Mermaid also was sprayed lightly with the Cool Carribbean wash and cut out and popped up on dimensionals to give the card depth. Cut out another sea plant and pasted it to the front of the opening. Had a chance to use some really fun BG fibers! Thanks for looking. (P.S. And if anyone has a bottle of Cool Carribbean reinker they'd like to sell, send me a PM!!! Next time I'm using Taken with Teal!)

Love it!!! The little mermaid is so cute and your glimmer mist made some beautiful water! The fibers go right along with the sea grass and look perfect!
