Here's my DT sample and I've used a gorgeous image called "Beneath the Waves" by Sureya at Deviantart. Please take a minute to pop on over and see the wonderful images both line art and coloured that are offered free - you have to become a member but it doesn't cost you anything and there's some amazing inspiration over there.
I've coloured her using Flexmarkers and then added Diamond Glaze to her hair so it looks wet and glitter to her fish tail and wings. I've die cut the image using Docrafts Xcut Nesting Dies Leaves 2 and mounted onto card from my stash. The first mat has been put through my Joy in a Sizzix e/f as I thought it looked a bit like waves. The backing paper was a digi freebie. I've added a border across the card and then die cut a piece of glitter paper using my Memory Box Riviera Corner. I've sponged around the edges with Peacock Feathers DI and used a flourish stamp around the edges using Versamark Dazzle Frost inkpad. The sentiment is computer generated and punched out with SU punches. As a finishing touch I've added pearls in various colours and a bit of waste from the corner die cut.Thanks for dropping by - please go and have a look at the wonderful DT cards over at ATS&M! We're looking forward to seeing all your wonderful entries.
