Simply Betty - Spika the Bad Mermaid

It's challenge time over at the Simply Betty Facebook fan page again and this time we had a choice of a 'good' or 'evil' mermaid to play with. I was taken by the evil one (a naughty girl at heart me :P ) so had Spika to play with.

I decided to carry on my obsession with tags & colour her in a fairly dark way.

The tag is cut from water colour paper & sprayed with Cut Grass, Lime & Midnight Blue Dylusions ink sprays & stamped with a foliage stamp from the Stampin Up Set Pocket Silhouettes.

Spika is coloured using my promarkers:

Skin - Coral, Sunkissed Pink, Blush

Tail - Poppy, Crimson & Burgundy

Hair - Plum, Aubergine & Slate

Eyes - Marine & Petrol Blue

I'm pleased with how she turned out. The colours are a bit more intense in real life & she really does look like bad news.

I'd love to hear what you think x
