I Need to SEA You Soon!

Today I'm sharing my second card in the Sweet November 31 days of Mer-May Challenge.  For this slimline card, I used 'The Look Out'.

After sizing the image to about 5" tall, I printed her on 110# Neenah cardstock.  Here are a few of my progressive coloring photos. 

After coloring the skin, I started on her hair. The Copics I used are: B41, N2, N3, N4, N5, and N6.

For her Mermaid tail, I started with RV66.  Next would be RV63, but I discovered it was very much in need of new ink, so I switched and added V06 and V04.

Next I colored the rock and water.  Rock Copics are W3, W5, with the creatures ~ RV42, RV95, R21, R22.  The Copics for the water are: BG34, BG15, BG13, BG02, BG05, B14, and B01. 

Lastly was the sky - I used Quick Quotes Chalking Ink and a finger dauber with my home cut stencil.  The top blue was done using Sky Blue and the bottom yellow was done with Chunky Monkey. 

As I was assembling her, I also decided the tail needed some 'glittery' effect so I covered it with Wink of Stella clear.

Love how she turned out! 

I trimmed her down and made the light blue card base from a 12" square blue card stock.  I generated the sentiment on my computer, then die cut it into a downward pennant and attached it at the top right corner.
