After seeing a number of ATC's, I thought I would try my hand at one. I made this one of the sweet little ADFD mermaid, and used it today as the main panel.
I had a lot of trouble with the papers. Maybe I should have used all shades of the aqua? Would appreciate your input!!

Oh Anne, ATCs are such fun. I used to make (and swap) a lot, but then I guess I ran out of space to display them. But they're great for making a quick card, too...
I think the papers work well - they pick up on the colour of the shell.
Even though I am named after a mermaid (of sorts, a river goddess so I have always since childhood seen her as a mermaid!), I am not an indiscriminate lover of them, but this one is an absolute darling. And I know what she reminds me of, the illustrations in our childhood copy of The Water-Babies.
What a clever idea to scale the sketch down to create this miniature delight.

Anne, this is a beautiful card, and I think the colors work very well together!! I love the gorgeous background for the beautiful mermaid sitting upon her large shell!! The doodling is great as well!! Great job!

Love the A Day for Daisies Mermaid - their images are so cute and kind of magical. I like the way you did the papers and the colors - no suggestions there. Darling card. Hugz
