A Ten Minute Mermaid!?!?



Another ATC with Sweet Pea Stamps image: 'Ocean Fantasy'



Although I can get lost for hours coloring these beautiful mermaid images, I can also make quick cards with them, too. Just to show you that it is possible to make a quick card without coloring in every single detail.....
[click images for larger view]


For this card, I colored the entire image with my Copic Marker in BG11, Moon White. I then added just a few colors here and there, and some Spica glitter pen in clear, and my image was finished in under 10 minutes.

Hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend!!


Supplies:
Sweet Pea Stamps: © ching-chou kuik's Fantasy Art sheet 2 (plate 21)
Copic Markers
Spica glitter pen clear
EK starfish punch
Cuttlebug embossing folder
Versamagic Ink, Turquoise Gem, Ocean Depth; Brilliance: Starlite Silver

Absolutely gorgeous! What a cool technique when you give the whole thing a quick wash of color and just fill in some details-that is genius, girl!
