Simply Betty Good Vs Evil Challenge

Hi all!  I couldn't wait until Monday to post this card!  I've had this image, Spika the Bad Mermaid, from Simply Betty's Good Vs Evil Challenge colored up for awhile, but she'd been languishing due to my lack of inspiration.  What card could I create that wasn't already done by someone else?  Place her on a rock...already done.  Put her in the middle of seaweed...already done.  Float her underwater...already done.  Sit her on a beach...already done.  Hmmm...nothing came to mind until late (2:20 am) last night.  Early Friday evening, hubby and I had been talking about printing out some of our Hawaii photos from this latest trip and putting them in frames.  Inspiration struck (yes, I know, it was many hours later, lol)!  One of our volcano pictures would be the perfect backdrop for this hot, sexy mermaid!  The colors in the photo matched the blue of her skin, and her red lips were mirrored in the lava and lava reflection in the water.  I added the sentiment in red before printing the photo, popped Spika up on foam dots, and my card was finished!


Thank you Betty for such a fun image to play with!  And thank you readers for dropping by and commenting!
