So with my affinity for mermaids it should come as no surprise that when the Whimsy Stamps release came out at the beginning of the month I snatched them right up. This beautiful girl is Naia the Mermaid and I absolutely adore her, I mean just look at that hair! I think it was the Rapunzel like nature of her hair that got me to go with a blonde color combo on her and from there I kept the rest of her look soft and pretty. To contrast that I decided to add pops of bright colors to the card by coloring in some whimsical trailing seaweed and other water flora. I like to imagine Naia tending to her under the sea garden so thankful for the beauty and bounty all her hard work has produced. And since a new "anything goes" challenge just started up over at Whimsy, I am going to add her into the running. :)
Alrighty, I'm off to enjoy a day of coloring. See ya in 24!
