The Voice of The Sea

Living close to the Great Lakes

I have been in a "beachy" mood lately ...lol!

If you saw my Crafty Secrets "linky party" faux alligator suitcase I did HERE,

then you can see why I just had to use the same technique

for my Crafty Secrets Mermaids Tail!

I printed the gorgeous blue paper you see behind her from 

Digital Radiant Papers Collection.

I also printed the Digital Mermaid from the same paper above

for her tail and once again on plain white cardstock,

then colored her with my Copics.

I fussy cut her out after she was colored,

then also fussy cut her tail from the digital paper.

Once I had applied the faux alligator technique to her tail,

I adhered it to her body.

I just love the way it looks like scales!

A few sequins were added for her headdress.

I added a gold shell, some, pearls and trims at the bottom.

The sentiment "The voice of the sea speaks to the soul"

is included in the Mermaid Digital stamp set.
