Mermaids

As a member of DT for Conie Fong, I so enjoy sharing her delightful digis.  I'm sure when you see Conie Fong's art, you will be inspired to make some new projects!  You can learn more about Conie and her art on her Etsy Site or Facebook.  There is also a challenge site for Conie Fong images:  Conie Fong FaceBook Challenge.

My first love in paper crafting was scrapbooking!  That led me into 3-D projects, journaling, simple book making and card making.  I layouts a rest for a couple of years and picked it up again when our first grandgirl came into our lives!  Then when this little one arrived,,,  well, let's say I'm back to scrapping!

I started coloring images when I took a bit of a break in scrapping and now I've decided there's no reason not to combine these two art forms!  So here is another layout incorporating a colored digi.  This fun digital stamp is Ariela Mermaid from Conie Fong.  

I printed her onto a shell in Cricut Design Space.  That meant I could have my shell pre-colored.  The actual scene then is colored with Copic Markers and accented with some pearls.  The netting (cheesecloth) has also caught some little blue jewels in it and a sand dollar sits to the right.  

The optional theme for the challenge at Conie Fong FaceBook Challenge is Monochromatic.  I tried to go with a Blue theme here.

You can find the rest of the materials/sources in the list below.
