We want to take a moment to show our gratitude and thank Tammy for the blessings and joys we have received as members of the ADFD DT.
Our theme is “A Collection of ADFD Favorites” – so each DT member’s blog you visit will share something she has created with one of her favorite ADFD images. The hop has hidden prizes – a commenter from each hidden prize stop will win a choice of one image from theADFD Shop! You won’t know where the prizes are hidden, so be sure to leave a comment at each stop of the Hop! Our Blog Hop will run from 7:00 a.m. eastern standard time on Saturday, February 25, 2017 until 9:00 p.m. eastern standard time on Tuesday, February 27, 2017.
In addition to the Blog Hop, we invite you to share your Favorite ADFD image in the final ADFD Blog Challenge. The linky will stay open until Friday, March 3rd. All prize winners will be announced on the ADFD Blog on Saturday, March 4, 2017. We hope you will join our celebration of the thousands of images Tammy has created. Rules for the challenge are posted on the right sidebar of the ADFD Blog – the last spot of the stop!
For my project, I decided to use Water Talk. Are you more into mermaids or fairies? I personally am a total fairy girl myself, but this image was too pretty to resist.
For my project, I decided to use Water Talk. Are you more into mermaids or fairies? I personally am a total fairy girl myself, but this image was too pretty to resist.
I colored this beauty with colored pencils. I really like coloring mermaids in unusual colors, in this case, those shades of green.
My background was done with watercolor paper and Colourcraft Brushos in Sea Green and Turquoise. My card base was inked up with Brilliance ink from Imagine in Pearlescent Sky Blue. My sentiment is from Stampendous‘ Ocean Wisdom set, and I added a few sequins.
Are you ready to HOP?!? (If something happens or a link is broken on your hop, just come back here and start off where you left off.) Thanks so much for stopping by. Have an inspiring day!
Alison (that’s me!)

You're right, blogger doesn't always play nice.
