I'm late, I'm late for a very important date! This is for our very own Angie - ohmypapers!
The inspiration for my card was the wonderful sunshine teapot that Snietje found for us. I coloured this while I was away, but had to wait until I got home to add the liquid pears and card base.
Everything was coloured with prismacolour pencils and Zest it pencil blend. I laid the copy paper image on a rough tooth paper pad and pressed really hard on the blending pencil. This made the pencils look lovely and waxy.
I added a little bit of blue Copic to the ocean and then I lightly sponged over the entire image with a walnut stain distress ink foam blending tool (I didn't add any extra distress ink, just used the dregs that was already on it.
Liquid pearls and a doodled border were added before I adhered it to the base. Because it's just copy paper, I find it best to use a glue stick all over the paper, with no gaps otherwise air pockets appear.
Thanks for looking and apologise for being so late!

I love everything about this card! The background makes the mermaid pop, the mermaids is beautiful, and you used one of my favorite sentiments. Lovely card!
