Princess Oceana - Michelle Perkett

Hi everyone

This is my first  inspiration card as new DT for Creative Card Crew.  It's great huh!.. The challenge over there this week is On the beach / Under the sea and the sponsor is the fantastic Michelle Perkett and the winner will recieve a $10.00 gift voucher.  Theres some great news too...Michelle will be producing her images in rubber soon over at Sparkle n Sprinkle.  Anyway back to my creation.  

I used Princess Oceana from Michelles Mermaid collection.  I coloured her up using my copics and prisma pencils.  It took an age to do her hair but loved every minute of it.  I did not want to smother this card in embellishments as I feel there is enough beauty in the image itself.  I used Tim Holtz alphabet dies for the wording, cordinations for the background which I distressed slightly and vintage photo distress ink lightly round the edges. Oceana's eyes and lips, bubbles and the wording got a good ol lavishing of glossy accents.

And now for the pics......



Well I think that is about it from me at the moment but before I go please pop over to our challenge this week and join in the fun.  You have to be init to winit!!!
