I love the way Silk Dance has her tail behind her as a background and it is a fairly open image for the ©ching-chou kuik's FantasyArt Collection. After deciding which background paper I wanted to use I then determined what colors to use for Silk Dance. Probably 85% of the time I decide my image colors after I select my background papers. I often don't decide color placement until I am in the process, but I pull out everything that matches or coordinates from which to select. I am LOVING the hair and think that a coral color is unique appropriate for a mermaid. I wanted this to be a birthday card and went through my fabulous set of sentiments from Sweet Pea Stamps. I finally decided on the one here from Plate #2. While doing so I decided that Plate #2 was one I needed to pull out and play with again. It is just so pretty!

I live in Idaho with a great hubby and two sons. I love the fiber arts and papercrafts. I have started running and recently completed a FULL MARATHON. If you want a glimpse in to my life, this is the place for you. Hope you enjoy your time.

The colors were a perfect look for this beauty!!! The flowers accent her wonderfully! The ribbon also takes on the ribbon on the stamp magically!
