Fantasy at Try It On Tuesday


Our new challenge at Try It On Tuesday starts today and for the next 2 weeks we hope you will share your 'Fantasy' themed creations with us!

I make no apologies for once again playing about with my all time fave stamps - I LOVE these mermaids!

This was framed and given to a friend - who like me thinks Mermaids are one of the coolest things ever!

Ink blended background and used a Lavinia stencil for a bit of added interest.
All stamps are also from Lavinia (obviously!)

Coloured the images with my Mondeluz Aquarelle Coloured Pencils which are simply awesome - and they blend beautifully and a few highlights with a white Posca pen..

Thanks for stopping by and hope we will see lots of fantasy creations over at the challenge blog this time round! x

The fantasy theme certainly calls out for Lavinia stamps and you've built up a lovely scene with the mermaid and other underwater elements. Beautiful 😊

The water background is awesome and those fish are so pretty. The mermaid is lovely. I love the soft hints of pink and lavender in the water, so beautiful.

This is absolutely gorgeous Viv and the background is so beautifully done and love the colours...thiose Mondeluz Aquarelle pencils are so bright and pretty and the details you have added are really perfect,like the distant fish and the foreground gravel is so detailed, and love the lilac and blue of the water, and although I am not really a 'fantasy' fan that mermaid is wonderful, and I adore those fish with the added yellow detail. I think this must look fabulous in a frame..she must be so pleased with it. x
