Digi Haven DT Card

Morning crafters!  If, like me, you love playing with free digis, why not pop on over to Digi Haven where our new challenge is "Feathers and/or Fins".  To play along you must use a free digi, there are loads of links to some yummy free images on the Digi Haven blog.  We would love for you to come and join us.
The image I've chosen is actually a colouring page from Fantasy Colouring Pages, drawn by Ina Jane, which I've just shrunk down to card topper size instead of a full page.  She was great fun to colour, which I have done with Promarkers and Flexmarkers, as the image is so detailed.  I lost myself in my own crafty world with my pens for ages!
The splodgy backing paper was created with Distress Inks in Salty Ocean and Peacock Feathers which I sprayed with water, dried and then dropped some water on to make a mottled, water effect.
The mat the topper is sitting on is made from patterned paper with a layer of bright blue organza on top, it doesn't show up too well in the photo but it is there!  I also added some torn strips of pale blue organza for a watery texture, I'm quite pleased with how it looks, watch out for more organza adorned cards in the future!
The sentiment stamp is from a Personal Impressions set and I finished my card with a ton of gems and pearls.

I'm entering this card in the following challenges -
Sarah Hurley - 72 - something magical
Card Mania - #2 - beach/sea
Songbird - #3 - pearls
Creatalicious - #37 - fantasy or baby
Corrosive Challenge - #157 - myth and magic
