If Wishes Were Fishes

Happy Tuesday everyone!!  Cloudy and cold here this morning...kind of strange since I thought this week we were supposed to scorch :)  Oh well, I'll gladly take the cold!

We're starting a new challenge today at Tuesday Throwdown and it's Fantasy!  We have the perfect sponsor for this challenge as well, The Paper Shelter!  I can't help thinking of fairy tales, pixie dust, and all things fantasy when I look at their images.  They provided our design team with some super sweet ones to use, and I just loved it!

I actually made 2 cards with this image.  The first card I loved, but wasn't completely wild about...so I tried again :)  I used the Enchanted Ocean image and just cropped off the little scuba dude.  It's such a dreamy image...I love that!  I looked up a few water coloring techniques to try and really make it stand out.  Most of what I found was for Copic markers, but since I don't have any, I tried to do my best with my pencils.  I think the sun streaks turned out awesome!  Perfect to go along with this image.

I added some white gel pen dots to all the highlight areas, and some glitter to her bubbles.  The sentiment is from Create with TLC and I strung some die cut starfish on twine below it.  The final touch was some purple liquid pearls around the scallop frame!  Totally love it!

Be sure to stop by and see the rest of the design teams creations, they are fabulous.  Then join in the fun with your fantasy creation!!

I'd like to enter this card into the following challenges:
    Sweet Sketch Wednesday #210
