Beautiful mermaid

Hello everyone! I am here today with a layout about my sweet step-daughter! Two years ago we visited the beautiful island of Leykada and the famous Porto Katsiki beach. My husband took the most incredible photos of her without her posing, maybe that’s why the photos were gorgeous!

Here’s the layout

A little – or should I say a lot? – different than what you are used from me, right? This is the first LO I believe that is made without the use of any paper, just white cardstock. Firstly I misted the cardstock with plenty of water and then with my Dylusions London blue mist and a homemade mist made of water, TA Pomegranate and Ingvild Bolme’s Hydrangea chalk ink. Ingvild Bolme’s pads are so juicy (have I mentioned how much I love them? Sure I have!) that I managed to squeeze easily some color out of the pad and into the mister. After that, it’s all flowers, Prima and a Petaloo that I colored to match the LO, washi tape, a Pink Paisley artisan heart, crackle accents drops (I am addicted to those lately), stamping, masking and sequins. “Sequins? Yeah right” was my first reaction when a fellow About a Boy DT member asked what we thought of this new trend a couple of months back. But when I saw the Purple Pumpkin’s gorgeous August sketch, I knew I had to scrap that photo using sequins! lol

Here’s the PP sketch

A few close ups

With this Lo I am also entering The Studio Challenges 18th August challenge – Glitter  and Scrapbookers in Greece Summer challenge. Both DT ladies have some excellent inspirational LOs!

Kissez!!!
