Golden Mermaid by Ching-Chou Kuik

Good morning/afternoon, dear peeps!  I hope you are all doing well.  I am enamoured with mermaids and so I chose this gorgeous image by Ching-Chou Kuik called "Golden Mermaid" for my DT inspirational card.  It is for her current monthly Facebook challenge:

If you join our Facebook challenge, or the blog challenge, you can win some stunning images from her etsy shop.

The theme is "Spring/Easter"  and this week the Design Team members were challenged to use flowers.  Since I love to make my own flowers, I was thrilled!  I coloured her with my usual mediums (Copics and FC Polychromos pencils).  That's all from me for this post.  I wish you a lovely day.  Lori P xx
