Mermaid Birthday card for my friend! :) (SweetPeaStamp Progressive Challenge Jan.2015, part 1)

Hi there!!!
My first post of this new year of 2015! :)
I really hope to have more posts soon!!!!
Though to start...
just wanted to share a SweetPeaStamps image, called Dark Shores by artist Linda Biggs, that I made as a birthday card for a long time great friend of mine! :)

I am entering this card for the first part of the SweetPeaStamps progressive challenge! :)

I tried to make the mermaid colorful and match the colorful and whimsical elements in the designer papers and embellishments that I used as well! :)

Close up of front of card:

I used various markers to color the image, added white gel and silver gel pens on various parts of the image.
I don't think my photo did the gel pens justice...but hope it is still noticeable.  The mermaid's hair is where I put a lot more of the silver gen pen.
Used some embellishments from my stash - plain  chipboard corners that I colored  with distress ink, and added some paper flowers and mini star brads.

 Pretty happy with how she turned out overall!

 Such a unique and fun image for my wonderful friend for her birthday!

I look forward to making more cards and other projects with this awesome mermaid! :)

Thanks for looking!  :)
