Coral Immersion

Greetings! Here's a wonderful image today from artist ching-chou kuik called Coral Immersion (Plate #41). This is a beautiful mermaid that is so enchanting. I added an elegant saying to this card "Sing like no one's listening, love like you've never been hurt, dance like nobody's watching, and live like its heaven on earth. Mark Twain"Ohh, that saying is so inspiring and the look in this woman's eyes makes me want to do these things. I added some simple flowers from Prima and adorable brads from Bo Bunny along with some Bazzill Swiss paper. A little ink brushed on the edges of the paper and the images stands out. As the sailors used to say, the mermaids would call out to them. I think looking at the eyes of this mermaid, she does call out to you.

Have a magical day!
Holley

    Yep, the hair is what catched my eye first when I take a look at your card. You coloured it so beautiful, Holley. And the sentiment you used is one of my fave one. It fits this card perfectly.
    Hugs, Karina
