Divas by Design DT - Water Theme

Good morning everyone...

Hope you're keeping well and managing to catch the last little bits of summer sun before Autumn arrives.

It was back to work on Monday for me and a whole 8 week helf term to look forward to! 

Unfortunately we didn't finish my craft room before I went back, but we're making progress. I'll post some pictures when we're finished. I've got lots of cupboards, but when I suggested that I'd need to buy some more stash to fill them Hubby didn't seem to agree. A girl can try :)

I'm here today to tell you about this weeks challenge over at Divas by Design.

This week the theme is

Water

Lots of different possibilities here. Why not pop on over and get some inspiration from my lovely teamies.

I've used Magnolia's Mermaid Tilda. Shame on me I bought her ages ago and this is the first time she has seen ink.

The papers are En France by Prima and have all been distressed with Walnut DI.

I mounted her behind a Kraft circle with copper brads to make it look like you were seeing her through a porthole window. The background was made following a tutorial on the Make It Crafty website. I coloured Tilda first before masking her and then colouring the background. I added glossy accents to the bubbles to make them stand out
