Marisol Mermaid

I am just fascinated with mermaids (and unicorns), so I was delighted that the latest Aurora Wings Showcase is a beautiful new mermaid.

I wanted to try some new things with this image, I am not sure if they all worked as I imagined, but hey you don't know until you try.

Firstly, I wanted to create a background with Distress Oxides, to look like the sun was shining through the water and then adding some water sloshes to take the colour away for a bubble effect.  I also tried to add some frontage, but most of it blew away, I never have been able to get the hang of it!

I also thought it would be nice to colour her in different colours, instead of the usual turquoise or orange that I use, so I took inspiration from a past Kit & Clowder Class and tried a rainbow mermaid.

As always when I work with Mitzi's images, my project ended up way to big for a card, so I backed her with a seashell frame from the Silhouette store and she will go on my craft room wall with my other Aurora Wings Mermaids, although I am slowly running out of space :)
