Finally Finished My Mermaid
I have been working on this mermaid for a while. She's from Coloring Books 2020 on Etsy. I enjoy doing some projects that take a while. I colored her with Copic markers, Luminance pencils and CarbOthello chalk pastel pencils. I added some Stickles to the air bubbles, although the glitter is not visible in the photo. This was mt first time coloring black hair, I photocopied the partially colored image and colored the hair on that first as a trial (suggested by my daughter.) Thank you, Katie. After I somewhat thought I had it down I colored the original. I could still use some practice on where to place the shading. I am looking forward to coloring my next image.
I may try to down size her to get it on a card. That may not work because my printer is a piece of junk and tends to print off color.
Christmas Cardinal
Here's my start to the 2023 Splitcoast Christmas Card Challenge. For these cards I used dies from Honey Bee and paper from Carta Bella. My photography is not the best. Between very low light in the early morning and poor eyesight I didn't do such a great job.

Western Wear
These two cards are for a new to me Design Team called Farm Quest Challenge Blog. They are predominately country or farm themed. Today's challenge is cowboy or cowgirl, boots, hats or spurs. You must use at least two. I found these images on Etsy inTanchaArt. I colored the images with Copic markers. I don't recall who the the dark pink paper is from. The turquoise paper is my favorite paper to use on male cards and it's from Hobby Lobby. Hope to see you visit us!
