Calendar February

Happy to join in with the lovely Darcy and her Calendar challenge. Here is my before pic!


I turned her into a mermaid and painted her skin blue. I painted out the letters and stamped small bubbles over the lanterns with bubble wrap. I cut a corrugated card sea and rubbed it with treasure Gold. I rubbed treasure gold onto my large bubble wrap for the ocean. I gave her bubbles from her mouth as intended to submerge her in more bubble wrap but it covered up the mermaid tail too much.Finally I squeezed glitter glue onto the lamps and the bubbles and the top of the sea for a bit of added sparkle. bit crackers but good fun!
Her tail is iridescent but doesn't show up very well!
