I was lucky enough to be offered a Guest Designer post for the Love to Create Challenge Blog. I've followed this blog for many years and have entered the challenges so it is a great honour.
I was allowed an image from the Ula Section at the Polkadoodles Shop. I chose to use "Ula be a Mermaid". I have coloured the image in with Promarkers and fussy cut around the image. I also printed off a sentiment that I got with the image, die-cut and edged with my Turquoise Pan Pastel.
For the background I used a Turquoise, Diarylide Yellow, Hansa Yellow and Pearlescent Yellow Pan Pastels to colour the background. I then used various seaside orientated stamps (greenery, driftwood, bubbles and fish) and stamped these onto the background.
I then used a Marianne designs die to make the mount for Ula the mermaid.
I have finished the card off with some die-cut greenery and a die-cut shell border and individual die-cut shells highlighted with the the Pan Pastels used for the background and two large pearls.
Promarkers used:
Face/skin - Saffron, Spice and Oatmeal
Hair - Yellow, Canary and Lemon
