Trish chose Kathleen Lammie as the Queen for this week. Kathleen is one of those stampers who comes onto the scene like a shooting star. She hasn't been uploading all that long on SCS, but jumped in with both feet...and hands, entering challenges and leaving kind and encouraging comments for many as she went. She has a wonderful gallery.
I've always loved mermaid motifs, so I was drawn to THIS CARD of hers. I altered colors, background, and layout beside using a digi image(this one has aged for months, so I had no problem with Copics and my computer ink).
A BIG CONGRATS, Kathleen....enjoy your week and special gallery.

WOW, Sallie, what a beautiful mermaid. Your brayering and coloring of this image is spectacular. Love your choice of EF to go with the double border punch. Wonderful tribute to our Queen Kathleen
