This time I used Bubbles Lostlagoon and I used Mostly Polychromos colored pencils to color her up on Kraft Cardstock but I did use some Copic markers first to fill the mostly the background first layers. I drew in the Clam to look like a seat or perhaps her throne.  I also drew in the sea kelp.

I did use Copic B02 to fill in the first layer of the background and then I used B05 to color the base layer for the tail. I also used 26 for the base layer of the sand. RV21, E04 and E71 for the first layers of the clam.

I had started coloring her skin and hair with the Polychromos but I stopped to do the Copic coloring areas so I can do my Polychromos coloring on top and that too lots of layers and playing with different color pencils.

When I first saw this stamp I immediately thought of Marie Antoinette with her regal hair, smile and pose.  So I gave her the hair color she had before it all turned gray from all of the financial and political issues she had in her court.

the pearls in her hair.  I gave her dimple on 

her chin just like Marie Antoinette.

For this card I had a chance to play with Shimmer Redhelp and I began with Copic markers

but being the naughty crafter that I am... I don't really clean my nibs so I had 

lots of blotchiness going on. To fix my booboo I rescued the coloring with Polychromos 

colored pencils on the top to hide my errors and eventually I kept

adding details with the pencils. I also printed another image in the same

size so I use it as a mask and color up the entire background

with Distress Oxide.

I also made a Youtube video to show how I created the scales.
