This is a very special post as I am sharing my entry for the DT call over at Tiddly Inks. I was so excited to see this as I just adore all the Tiddly Inks images :-D
Now, there isn't long left to enter and wow, the standard of the entries so far is absolutely amazing! Undeterred, I grabbed myself this newly released image called Salty Kisses and put on my best colouring hat...
Well I knew this was going to be a challenge for me to colour because of all the hair and the mermaids tail to contend with but I like a challenge! And to be honest, I'm pretty happy with how it turned out :-)
Once she was all coloured up I really didn't want to detract too much from her so kept the layout pretty simple with a sprinkling of Frantage and a button that my sister-in-law made.

WOW!!! This is stunning Kat. Such a pretty image and your colouring is wonderful. I especially love her tail. I love the delicately coloured papers too which work so well as not to distract from the image.
