Enchanting Aqua.........


I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. Today I show you my catch from my weekend fishing! Just kidding. I did not catch a mermaid more like a minnow.  This week at Sweet Pea Stamper's they are asking for a creation in Aqua and Brown. I decided to use ©ching-chou kuik's Enchanting Gold and change her to Aqua!  You can get her at Sweet Pea Stamps.

I watched Alice in Wonderland on Sunday - can you believe I have never seen nor actualy known the story before.  Anyway the line in the movie that made the biggest impression on me was from the Mad Hatter to Alice.  He says something to her about her loosing her muchness. Now with all of the craziness in my life lately I too feel I have been loosing my muchness, my heart. I think I was much muchier before.  I need to get that back. Some of you call it mojo, I am going to call it muchness!  Anyway I feel much muchier when I am working on these lovely creations.  They are like a second skin to me.  My markers feel like extentions of my fingers and hands and the colors just flow from my brain to the paper.  I love all of the details and the fun embellishing them.  If that sounds bonkers to you well then maybe the Mad Hatter and I have much in common!

I colored my beauty with my copics and spritzed her with some shimmer spray. If you look real close you can see it on the close up. I added liquid pearls in opal here and there, added stickles (have to add sparkle) a bit of glossy accents to her eyes and lips and finished with my signature chalked background.  I cut the leaves and flower stem with my cricut.  The flower was made with a tute that I found on my friend Amber's blog, You can see it HERE. I love how it turned out! Thanks a bunch Amber! A couple of gems colored with copics finished the creation.
