#Mermay Challenge 5 - Shell

Hello and welcome to my #Mermay Challenge #5. Today I set myself the challenge of using a mermaid in a shell and combined this gorgeous mermaid from La-La Land Crafts with the shell and fish digis.

I attempted to do the first class from Sandy Allnock's Underwater Scenes class straight onto this image, but I'll be honest, I really should have practised it before trying it out on this card as I really didn't like the way the waves on the top of the sea came out. The colours didn't look right and then I had to blend, blend, blend until I got it looking ok. I'm still not 100% happy with it, but I guess it's ok. Going to have to go back and practise that class again!
