If I told you I even took this photo outside to try and show the sparkle would you believe me. It is so dark here I am sure we are about to experience a thunder storm. I have coloured the image in distressed inks, mixing my blues and greens to give different depths. I have then gone over the mermaids tail in a light wash of Sparkling H2O's sage. The flowers were done in Sparkling H2O's as well and then I used a very light wash of one of the Sparkling H2O's to try and create the beams of light you get underwater. The lace was choosen as it was in waves and I tried to create the wave swirl with the gems. A favourite of mine and almost a signiture piece of a bouquet of blue and cram flowers to match the background papers (Basic Grey Wisteria, faux stitched and distressed in weathered wood distressed inks) and tied with a ribbon with a starfish charm.
I do hope you like it.
