Egypt Mermaid

This beautiful mermaid comes from Plate #22 and is called Egypt Mermaid. I love her exotic look and fancy jewelry. I have also used this image and colored in the mid-drift part of the mermaid. It gives the image a totally different look.This image was colored using watercolor pencils with a blender pen. I double layered the image before mounting it on the card and added some flat black buttons as decor. I like how the tones in the image match the cardstock used. I guess to some it seems a little plain, but I sometimes like the image to be the eye-catching part of the card and the embellishments to take a back seat.

Have a great day all!
