Splish Splash

Having coloured this cute mermaid in I cut her out.  The background was created using a diecut oval, covered in tissue paper nad coloured using gold and blue dabbers.  I spread the paint round using a baby wipe, and them liberally misted with pearl glimmer mist to give it a shine.  I layered this onto the floral oval nestie.  I distressed the edges of the dp and cardstock, and added ribbon and lace, some flowers and pearls. 

Supplies:
Sentiment: Craftwork cards
Colouring medium: copics
 Papers: Glitz Vintage Blue
Embellishments: lace, ribbon, mulberry flowers, pearls
Tools: Cuttlebug, Spellbinders floral ovals
