Happiness Is ... A Dreamy Sand Castle -- In A Sweet Pea Dream -- Under The Sea -- Challenge # 9

Hi! Today I used another fabulous image from Sweet Pea Stamps if you haven't checked out their stamps you really need to they have something for everyone. This image is Elaine Cox's Dreamy Sand Castle and I must say I am really happy with how she turned out. :)  I colored her with watercolor pencils then her mermaid tail was glittered in three different purple pearl shades of glitter.  Next I glittered her hair in a charcoal black and a mixed black color called Atlantis. Her lips were done in a red pearl glitter.  Then I used flower soft in the ultra fine in sand and koala gray to accent the sand. I also added a few real shells here -- you can get these at Stuff by David along with lots of other great items. For the outer part I used paper I made with my glimmer sprays and then put down a strip of big black mesh. Around the mesh I put pieces of gold, purple and turquoise tulle then I added glimmer rox in gold and black and some beadies in aqua and silver along with more real shells. I took a close up pic so you should be able to see the details. :)  To finish it I added the black rhinestones and the metal "happiness is ..." accent and the gold shell. Thanks for looking :)
