Live in the Sunshine

Hello friends, welcome visitors,

I recently won a prize on another blog.  One of the things I received was some Enamel Gumdrops from a company I had never heard of so I decided to go check them out.  The company is called YNS which stands for Your Next Stamp.  I was delighted to discover that they not only sell lots of cool products (I want the red, white & blue gumdrops) but they also have a challenge blog.  They have two challenges and you can do one or both.  I decided to do both.

The sentiment says "Live in the Sunshine, Swim in the sea".  As you can see, I used some of the gumdrops on the side of the digital stamp.

Here is the sketch:

I used washi tape over paper for the small strip.

Here is the color challenge:

I think I used all these colors.   Here is a close up of my little mermaid.

When I finished coloring her, I just had to add some sparkle.  I think mermaids sparkle.
