Seriously you have got to check out these images!!
....and I'll let you into a little secret, I have seen a sneeky peek of some of the digi's Marina has created for a future release, oh boy you are going to love them.
OK enough waffle, you've come to see the artwork right!
..........and here it is in close up, just look at that adorable seahorse!!
I actually chose to make up my own scene merging images using Photoshop Elements, but if you do not want to do that Zoe has created some fantastic pre made scenes -
go take a look, I assure you, you will not be disappointed.
and those of you that frequent my blog on a regular basis will know that I tend to use a lot of Copics..................but brace yourself!!
(got a little carried away)
.........I promise to share hints and tips regarding colouring sand, sea, mermaid tails etc at a later date........so keep your eye out for that!
Now, a blog hop would not be the same without prizes
