Mermaids light and dark



I thought it would be fun to do a pair of cards. I like how these two mermaid beauties go together. I used Randi's tutorial for coloring hair (here's a link) to do the light hair. I topped both mermaid's hair with Glossy Accents for the shine.

    Both are very striking Lisa, but your choice of backgrounds are the wow factor IMO.
    Both bg's are perfect for the images. So is your coloring...perfect!

    Two beautiful colored mermaids! I liked how different they both were, with different background, dark and light. Beautiful with a clear bling on both cards, and coloring of the hair was admirable:)
    Agree..It looks like they are under water!
