Be a mermaid...

 

TGIF!

It ends up that I couldn't wait a whole 'nother year before getting the last of the cutie mermaids in the Mermaid Party set from CC Designs on a card. She just kept staring at me from the corner of my desk until I finally caved. The sway of her dancing pose is so fun and carefree and since I also had the postal modern press plate from The Greetery on my desk, I paired the two together for a faux post card. The post card layout also provided me with enough space to finally use this large sentiment from Colorado Craft Company on a card. I also remembered that I had this school of fish stencil so I finally put it to use when I was air brushing the water background after all the hand coloring was done. I really love how everything came together on this one and I'm so glad I didn't make her wait a year, LOL!  ;)

Have a great weekend!
