At least it feels like it! But it doesn’t hurt to have inspiration which I got from the new stamps at Sweet Pea Rubber Stamps. I have fallen in love with the new ching-chou kuik’s Fantasy Art collections. I stamped the image on PT’s Heavenly White and then colored with copics, the little sparkle is from atyou Spica pens. I fought buying them for a while since I had glitter pens already but when I was given a few when I went for my copic Certification I was hooked!! As always I did my background with Pan Pastels (another color medium I LOVE LOVE LOVE to use). It sure helps to have every shade of cardstock made at my finger tips! I used the brand new Neenah Classic Crest Blue for the card base even though you only see a glimpse of it. The mat and the corners are out of the Glimmer line. The front paper is amazing looking. I was given a quarter sheet in a bag of misc papers when I was at the After Midnight Ranch Art Retreat and am sad that I can’t get anymore. It worked so perfect for the look I was going for.
I was only missing my mojo for a week or so but I sure did miss it and welcome it’s return!!

You brought me out of lurking with this one.
I normally don’t post.
This card is lovely!!
Your card is beautiful, Patricia! I love the coloring, the touches of sparkle and of course the paper!
Very pretty, Patricia! I love delicate look of your image and the sparkle of all the papers just gives it that extra bit of magic!
I think sparkles and bling always work for undersea images, and the scaly pattern under the mermaid is really something!
