The Mermaid - Sirena

This project is my entry for:

'August Challenge' - on Beccy's  Place;
'Activitati de vara -  Saptamana 9 - Lumea subacvativa' ;
Week 9 - The underwater world on Niko's blog.

This project is based on Beccy's creation: The Mermaid.

It looks complicated, but I'll explain:
The base is a blue stock card with a light emboss.  The image is printed,
shaped and colored with pencils, gel pens and gold acrylic around
the whole image. The color of pencils is intensified as I saw in this video.
I worked the background adding some elements:
- four strips manually colored with ink pads and softened like in this video;
- in the corners there are pieces from two decor meshes;
- around the mermaid I added some metallic colors;
- four plastic stickers from a set 'under the sea'. 

Baza acestei lucrari este un carton albastru deschis, pentru felicitari, usor embosat.
Imaginea este tiparita, decupata si colorata cu creioane, markere cu gel, auriu pe
intreg conturul. Culoarea creioanelor am intensificat-o utilizand vaselina.
Pe baza am lipit mai multe elemente: patru fasii de hartie, colorate cu tusiere si
inmuiate cu crema de maini,( linkurile pentru metode sunt in textul englezesc);
pe colturi sunt bucatele din niste plase decor; stickerele tematice provin dintr-un
set marin. In jurul sirenei am adaugat niste culori metalice, unduitoare.

I have not seen a mermaid in the real life, but I've always dreamed to see one...😊
