Dream Big Little Mermaid

Today I am sharing Moondrea Designs, "Sea Flower", her new image design for May.  Isn't she the prettiest little mermaid! 

For this design, I selected the background print first mainly because I happened upon it when looking for another card's mounting paper and thought it would work for this image.  I knew I wanted to have the clam shell sitting underwater.

After sizing and printing her, I Copic colored the image and then fussy cut around.  I went back with the darkest green (G85) and re-shaded the outer edges so that it would pop more against the background mounting.  Then I made the computer generated sentiment and die cut it.  After playing around a bit to get the placement ready, I clipped her to the paper and then secured the sentiment.  Next I added a large 'wobbler' to the back of the mermaid right in the center.   Then carefully secured her to the top of the paper, just to the left of the sentiment.  Lastly I mounted the background paper to the 5" x 6" card base to complete the design.

And when a wave comes by....
