How often do you feel the need to trash away a project you just started 2 minutes before? Instead, you go on anyway, and you realise you start liking it more and more... ending up loving it! That's what happened with this card!
I liked the stamp the moment I saw it on The Happy Place shop. I printed it with light blue ink and started a no line coloring, but then I got lost between the siren's tail folds, the hair, the face lines... only when I started coloring the seahorse head I couldn't stop.
Ho ripreso i particolari con le matite colorate Prismacolors, un pennarellino nero a punta fine e la penna gel bianca. Ho aggiunto alcune timbrate in seconda battuta sullo sfondo e qualche splatter di colore blu per richiamare il mare.I retraced details with Prismacolors pencils, a black fine liner and a white gel pen. Then I added some light prints and blue splatters on the background.
Come tocco finale ho passato la coda e le pinne della sirena con il pennarello Specrum Noir glitterato trasparente e ho colorato con un pennarello ad alcool nero delle mezze perle da incollare tra i capelli della sirena e sulle briglie del cavalluccio. Un paio di finti francobolli e una fila di stelline metalliche conferiscono il tocco 3D al tutto.As a final touch, I colored the siren's tail and fins with sparkle transparent Specrum Noir and some half pearls with a black alcool pen and put them on the head of siren and seahorse both. A couple of fake stamps and some metallic stars in my stash add the 3D effect.
