Beautiful Little Mermaid

Time for some inspiration over at Alicia Bel Challenges

Here is my DT creation using Beautiful Little Mermaid

This was my first attempt at mixed media.

I attempted to balance the background colours based on the image colours, however do not like the red in the background.  This was before I bought some stencils and background stamps.
I had lots of fun with this, and got to try out all the different techniques.

New Release & Mixed Media

Lizzy has some amazing new releases out today!!

I'm showcasing one of the new release images called Sugar (No. 242B)
The thinking bubbles are from Sentiment 232B

Here is one of my first mixed media pages.  The first one I did was a bit dark and was not fully happy with it.  However on seeing this new release image I knew what I wanted to do with it! This one is much brighter and I'm happier with the turn out.
