Little Mermaid by Conie Fong (card 2)

Hi friends, and welcome to today's post.  I am sharing a mermaid card which I made using the darling Little Mermaid image by Conie Fong which you can find in her etsy shop.  This is the second card that I made this sweet mermaid.  Here is my Design Team card.


I have used Copic markers to colour her, and I created a little underwater scene by drawing the coral and the bubbles. 

Conie Fong has a fabulous YouTube channel called Draw with Conie where she teaches you how to draw a simple mermaid and other adorable simple images.  


Conie has two groups on Facebook.  One is called Conie Fong Art & Design Group.  You will find some wonderful inspiration by the other Design Team members as well as other crafters.  

Conie's other Facebook group is called Draw with Conie.  If you follow Conie's step by step tutorials and draw one of her images, you can post it on this group. 

That's all from me.  Take good care of yourselves.  Have a lovely day.  Hugs, Lori xx
