Guest Designer for Love to Create Challenge Blog

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
Mermaid/shells etc - Duck Egg, Turquoise, Putty, Tan, Burnt Orange and Dusky Pink.

Pan Pastels used:

Rich Gold
Diarylide Yellow
Turquoise
Copper Metallic
Hansa Yellow
Pearlescent Yellow.

Thank you to Louise for allowing me to be a Guest Designer.
