"Marina" 3D Paper Art for Delicious Doodles DT!

Howzit Everyone!
I'm super excited to announce I'm now designing for Delicious Doodles!  I've been a fan of Teri's digis for many years now and recently I've been doing a lot of 3D paper art with them!  This 3D project features Marina and was created for our new Challenge, Beside the Sea!

I started out by adjusting the size of digi in Photoshop CS6 and then printed out 2 copies onto Neenah solar white cardstock.  For this one I decided that her hair, arms and the two front fish would be the layered sections and coloured just those areas on the 1st copy and the rest of the image on the 2nd with with Copic markers and Prismacolor pencils.  The background was done with blue Derwent Pastel pencils blended with a Dove blender pen and then additional shadows added with Prismacolor pencils.  White gel pen highlights were then added once the entire piece was completed.  I then fussy cut out all the pieces and adhered them in place with pop dots. 

 

 

 I used clear Wink of Stella on her lips, eyelids, mermaid body and tail, coral and her pearl bracelet.  I then completed my piece with 3D shimmery water droplets and embellished her hair and jewels with a Viva Pearl pen in Magic Transparent White.  

This one proved tricky to photograph, the lighting just wasn't working for me this week but I think I've managed to capture some photos showing all the shimmer and the dimension of the layering.  Click on each photo to enlarge them for a closer look.

Thanks for visiting with me today and have a fabulous holiday weekend!
Happy Stamping!
