Mermaid Basswood Canvas

Good Morning!  This week the Tombow team has teamed up with the folks at Walnut Hollow to bring you lots of inspiration.

Today's creation started with a blank Basswood Canvas from Walnut Hollow.

My sister loves mermaids and I couldn't resist using this sweet Eva the Glam Mermaid digi image from Michelle Perkett.  I printed the image on some 140# cold press watercolor paper and then watercolored her with a variety of Tombow Dual Brush pens.

I used papers from the Authentique Fresh collection paired with some solid cardstocks from American Crafts.  For the paper to canvas and paper to paper applications, I used Tombow Mono Multi adhesive with the exception of Miss Eva Glam, I used Tombow Foam Tabs to pop her up off of the canvas just a bit.  For all of the seashells and flowers I used a combination of Tombow Power Tabs and Tombow Foam Tabs.

Look at this pretty rainbow of color!  When I watercolor, I layer many colors, so even though you might not see each color individually, they are there. 

Yes, I was the kid in school who had to have every color of crayon in the box. :)
