Black Pearl

Hi all, welcome to a new Southern Girls Challenge.  This time we are asking you to use Pearls.  It's that easy!  So get your creative juices flowing and make those beautiful  pearly and girly creations.

I went in a slightly different direction, while my card has pearls and flowers, they're black, I had to as I'd selected Black Pearl from Delicious Doodles

Teri has just advised some of her images are now in rubber over at SweetPea stamps! Awesome!

Teri has created a true mermaid, as you may know, in stories of mermaids, it is said some would use their beauty and charm to lure sailor men to their deaths.  So here is Black Pearl in all her glory surrounded by the skulls of the sailors she has lured to their watery graves.

 I've coloured her with copics and used the clear spica pen to provide a sheen over the scales on her tail.  IRL it looks fabulous.  I had some gold netting which was perfect with this image.  

 I sprayed some Wild Orchid Crafts flowers with black ink and Champagne Shimmer Mist to sparkle them up.  I've used a Gold Foil pen to paint the centre of one flower and to change the colour of the stamen that are then added around the black flowers to take away the denseness of the black.

 The sentiment is embossed with Obsidian Teal embossing powder from Moonglow.  It's stunning as it gives off this teal shine and glimmer but looks black.  Not being the best photographer, this looks a tiny bit washed out, but I couldn't get the adjustments right when I tried, so I gave up!  I need to learn this stuff. LOL
