MY PALACE ON LAND - A Day for Daisies

This week's new releases at A Day for Daisies features images from one of my all time favourite fairy tales, The Little Mermaid'.
I chose to use "My Palace on Land" from this set:
and this is my creation:

I coloured the image using Copics, and the highlights were made using pastel gel pens. I added some multi-green glitter glue that I have had in my stash for yonks, that was just perfect for the tail! A few little flower sequins were sewn directly onto the card using invisible thread, and then the card was popped into a frame.

IRL this image, once coloured, has such depth and looks as if it is layered, and I think it has finished up being one of my favourite ADFD creations EVER!

These beautiful images are not the only ones in the set - there are LOADS more! Click HERE to see them all.
