The Paper Nest Dolls ~ New Anything Goes Challenge with Guest DT Spot!

Hello There Friends,

Today over at The Paper Nest Dolls Challenge blog they are starting a new "Anything Goes" Challenge with a chance of being a Guest Designer for one entire month. Make sure to pop on over and try out by entering one of your cards with "GDT" included after your name. I would love to see one of my friends get the spot. :-)

I just recently went to Myrtle Beach with my husband and mother. We had an amazing time enjoying the beach and searching for shells. I took my Copic Markers along with me and colored this image while away. It was perfect considering where I was. It is called "Mermaid in Clam Shell". My mom and I went out craft shopping one day and while she shopped for beading items she spotted these 3-D stickers that went perfect with the nautical theme I had in my mind for this mermaid.

 I absolutely love images where I can create a full scene. I added a lot of stippling to create both the water and sand. Copic colors I used are as follows:

Skin Colors - E000,E00,E04,E11,E21,R20
Other:
GB000,BG01,BG02,BG05,BG18,BG23,BG49 
YR30,R31,YR61,YR65,YR68 Y35,Y38
E41,E42,E43,E44,E53,E55,E57
G21,G24

Here is a close up of my coloring:
I hope you all will try out for the Guest Designer Spot over on our challenge blog. Open to all levels or colorists. :-)

This project is entered into the following challenges:
