You are a treasure

It's Saturday!!  That means it's time for another challenge from Di's Digi Designs.
The challenge this time is: For the Girls
And here is my card for your inspiration:
I printed out this sweet little mermaid image (it includes that cutie little fish), colored her and fussy cut her out so I could add her to a beautiful underwater scene.  I created the water with 3 shades of distress oxide blue inks, and then stenciled some sun rays.  I finished it off with a spritz of water to look like bubbles.
For the sand, I die cut a piece of kraft card stock, inked the edges with a dark brown ink and added little dots with various markers.  I die cut the seaweed and coral and colored them before adding them to the scene.
To finish it all off, I added gold sparkle with a Nuvo shimmer pen to the mermaid's tail and the fish's scales.  I created bubbles with clear Nuvo drops, and added pearl paint pen to the pearl in the oyster shell and a little half-pearl to the flower in her hair.  Ooo . . . this was a fun one!
I hope you will get a chance to play along with us; I can't wait to see what you create.  And make sure you hop over to the Di's Digital Designs blog to see what the rest of the team has made for this challenge.

Nice work on the fussy cutting of the image. If you did not mention that you fussy cut it, I would have thought that this scene is one flawless panel. Thank you for sharing your creation with us @ Incy Wincy Designs Mermaids/Sea Colours Challenge. Good luck!
