VOICE OF THE SEA

Hi, There!

Once I discovered "More Than Words" challenge, which for this month is the word "Wonderful",  for me it just had to be either a Fairy layout or Mermaid layout. They are all wonderful inspirations for me and the more I see them used in layouts and/or cards, the more I want to create something of my own!!

So here is my Mermaid Mixed Media Canvas.  The digital image is from Aurora Wings - she is just so beautiful - colored with Copic markers and fussy cut.  The background on the canvas was painted with distress paints, I used some "Fish" tissue paper here and there; Music Note washi tape; Gesso on a bubbles stencil; fish images cut from K&Company/Travel paper, the two sentiment stamps are from Crafty Secrets which I stamped in black ink. I fussy cut the words; added some clear glass bubbles and lots of liquid pearls. Sea shells, coins, and metals from my stash at the bottom, touched up here and there with Silk acrylic paint for some glimmer. 

This is my first mixed media on canvas and although it took me longer to finish - very different than card making as I had to wait for different elements to dry - I did have fun!!!  Thanks for stopping by, till next time, Hugs ~ CaroleAnn
