Hi, I am finally doing a card for Helen (Helekins)...I promised weeks ago but life sometimes gets in the way doesn't it!?
I chose this card to case. I meant to do somewhat rainbow colors but forgot after a couple weeks! I knew I wanted to do this one because I have this cute digi image from Make It Crafty. She has red Ariel hair because she sort of looks cute like Ariel I think and even Dory got into the scene. I thought to put glitter on her tail but I forgot that too!
But I love my mermaids and this one is for Helen!
Thanks for looking!

Ohhhhhh mate, you just took my breath away. I keep looking at this and getting lost in your magical underwater scene. Helen is going to love this as much as I do, we have already discussed coming back as mermaid twins!! Robin I am in absolute awe of your talent. Everything you do is full of love and heart. You are an inspiration my friend.

Susie writes such sweet things, and I am siting here trying to surpress my feelings of jealousy...you are sooo talented. The bg looks like the light shining through the water, and your colors are fantastic. I JUST LOVE IT! Your talent is beyond belief.

This is incredible, Robin! NO clue how you created the lighting in the water but it's a show stopper! It highlights your focal image so perfectly. Your colors and coloring- amazing! I really TRY to do bright colors- but I sure don't succeed like you do. What an outstanding job you did on this!

Oh, it's Ariel and Dory!! My gosh, Robin, words escape me! But let me just say this card is over-the-top magnificent!!! Wow!! Ariel is colored so beautifully as is that marvelous water! It looks so real, my friend!! I love the fabric, shells, and coral on the card, and the shells and coral are colored so gorgeously!! Is there a grade above A+ or 100%???? Whatever it is, you earned it!! Great piece of art, my sweet friend!!

So Robin - there is now going to be three of us Mermaids in our next life he? I know exactly what you mean by "life getting in the way". I love your colourful ocean scene too - the shell border is wonderful. Of course - what is a mermaid without her cute little accompanying sea horse too. Just love this.

Beautiful, Robin. I just bought this digi last week. Your background is fabulous with the light shining down into the water. The addition of shells and all good things from the sea just made this even more fabulous. Love the fibers.

This is so beautiful! I keep looking at this mermaid's tail and am trying to figure out how you got all those glorious colors in it. This mermaid's red hair is glorious too; as is this amazing water you created. I love the little supporting dies you used as well. This is a true WOW card in every way! ~Karen.
