Bety of beat.paper finished up her Zodiac Girls series last month which included Pisces - an absolutely enchanting mermaid! I elected to print her larger (than normal for me) and colored her with OLO Markers and colored pencils.
I seriously love this image! The wink just makes her expression even cuter. I chose very conservative colors, keeping her hair golden blonde and her tail teal.
I used patterned paper from my stash for the background (hard to beat that holographic seaweed) and added just a scattering of white die cut Little Fishes from La-La Land Crafts (affiliate). The sentiment is from Hero Arts Shine Bright (affiliate), stamped with teal shimmery Encore! ink.
I considered adding some sequins or gems but felt like it wasn't necessary -- the background has plenty of shimmer on its own.
