MTME Pretty Patterns sketch #22

Today I am sharing a card I made using one of my favorite MTME’s digi stamps.  Underwater Wonderment.

    I took the photo at an angle so you can see the shimmers that I added on the mermaid's fins and headband.  I used shimmers angel wings.  I also wanted to make the bubbles look a little more realistic so after I colored them with my copics I added a white highlight with a white gel pen.  I then used Crystal Effects (by SU) on top of the bubbles.  After letting it dry it shines and give is a water effect.  I colored some pearls with my RV2 copic and put them on her ears for earrings.  I had colored the earrings with that same copic but the pearls add so much more.

I printed the mermaid and the seahorses onto MTME's pattern paper Fresh Fabric.  I shaded the images with copics and cut them out.  I then applies the shimmers angel wings to the mermaids fins.

I hope you can see the bubbles a little better in the picture below. It was hard to get the lighting just right.

I hope you come and play along with us.  I really like this week's sketch. 

 Isn't it fun?  I didn't make a square card so the sketch might look a little different on my card. I put two seahorses instead of brads and added decorative corners. The sketches aren't there to hold you back... they are a jump-off point to get you started and then you can be as creative as you like!
