This card was inspired by my youngest daughter. Her favorite Disney princess is Ariel and as soon as I saw this digi (A Day For Daisies freebie as long as you play in their challenge) I knew I had to make a card for her. And I knew I wanted to create scales to mimic a mermaid's tail. It took a bit of time and used almost an entire sheet of 8 1/2 x 11 cardstock, but it came out perfectly. I used my SU! scalloped border punch, inked up the edges with a little green for definition and to match a bit better to the digi color, then I staggered them and adhered them to a scrap paper. After they were all adhered, I spritzed them with some glimmer mist to make them sparkly and magical. You can see the glimmer mist and the glitter pen I added to the mermaid's tail in the second picture.
