Pacifica

Hi all, I'm sharing a card today, using a beautiful mermaid image from Rick St. Dennis called Pacifica. I have recently discovered Rick St. Dennis' artwork, and I have fallen in love with them big time!! He has something to suit all tastes, and my favourites are his elegant ladies, and beautiful mermaids.  She is absolutely beautiful, and I couldn't wait to colour her in. I used Promarkers and Flexmarkers  to colour her.

I hand trimmed her out, and cut a frame backing from some Prima papers and plain green card using my new Tonic dies. I then cut a rectangular panel of the Prima paper, and layered some hessian and gold flecked lace.

The little fishes I cut from some Webster's Pages paper, and the 'seaweed' is leafy trim from The Ribbon Reel, as is the hessian ribbon.

The sentiment is from Stampin' Up!, and to finish off the card, I added lots of pearls and some sparkly gems. If I had some little shells or something sea themed in my stash I would have added them, so something for me to go and buy haha!

I am entering this into the Facebook Rick St.Dennis Group challenge, which is for anything goes.
I would like to enter this into I Love Promarkers challenge, Not Quite Straight,  Feeling Crafty Challenge For The Girls, and Crafty Catz Anything but a Square, and Papercrafting Journey Spots or stripes - I have used a spotted backing paper.

Thanks for stopping by,
