Challenge Time at the Stamping Chef !!

Hello and welcome back to Cards by Kay it is time for a new challenge over at The Stamping Chef as always it is an " Anything Goes Challenge" and as always there are some fab prizes up on offer so the image I have chosen to show you this week is called " Sirena" and you can get her Here. I have diverted off my usual style this week and tried something different. So I have used a three-fold-card and cut a panel from the front section to make a frame. I have cut out 2 other frames for the card front. And the seaside themed stamps are from Dark Room Door seaside sets. The flowers are from Petaloo and Kaisercraft. To color Sirena I have used the feather blending technique where the skin finishes and the tail starts.

                                            Sirena
