Classic Design Challenge #04-2024 - Mermaid Kisses

Hello Again, I'm back with a new project for The Classic Design Challenge!  It's a new month and we are also celebrating the 8th Birthday of the Challenge.  With so many challenges closing shop, it's nice to see a challenge go the distance.  

We have 3 wonderful sponsors this month and a special birthday prize.  We thank All Dressed Up Stamps, Mirtillamente and Keen Crafter Designs for their sponsorship.  

For my project this month, I've colored the adorable Mermaid Kisses image from All Dressed Up.  I've had this image in my stash for a while now, and, unfortunately it may be retired.  However, All Dressed Up has some of the cutest images out there.

I've colored this little Mermaid using Prismacolor Pencils, I've given her tail an ombre look. There's just something pretty about blues and lilacs together, and since she's a princess of the ocean, cool colors suit her. 

I've used a scalloped and stitched edge Tag die set to cut the focal and mat panels, which have been popped on craft foam for dimension. I've embossed the background card for added interest, included a Baker's Twine bow and amethyst gems to finish out the design.  

The team and I invite you to play along at The Classic Design Challenge.  There are some awesome prizes on offer this month.  Until next time, Happy Crafting!
