Underwater Mermaid Scene

Welcome to the Make it Crafty blog hop where we are celebrating not only a new release, but our new illustrator Marina!  She has a whimsical style and will be bringing us lots of gorgeous backgrounds and characters! There are many images in the current release 'Under the Sea' that you don't want to miss and I've even seen a few sneak peeks at some fairies that are awesome!

You should have arrived here from the incredible DELPHINE!

For my project I used Underwater Mermaid Scene and printed it out to fill out the card because I knew I wanted to do more coloring that card making.  He he he.  I first started with the water and figured if I messed that up then it would be easy to start over.  The inspiration I used for this was an image I found through Google and can be found HERE.  If you can believe it, the hardest part to color was the sand... it was left for last and taunted me throughout.  LOL

PRIZES: The best part about a blog hop are the prizes!!  Each of us have selected one image to give away to a random commenter on our blog and the image I chose is the one I've used... Underwater Mermaid Scene!!  You have until Sunday May 6h to finish the hop and we'll post the winners on Monday!

But that's not all the prizes either! Make sure to visit everyone on the hop and also leave a comment on the main MIC Store Blog for a chance to win the entire collection - how awesome is that!  :D  Zoe has three prizes over there that you don't want to miss.  Good luck!
