Mermaid Day and Night Scenes

I have been keeping an eye on Hero Arts' My Monthly Hero Kits for a long time. While they are always with great values and great designs, it is too much luxury for me to subscribe. This time in May, they released a beautiful kit that I simply couldn't resist. I knew they are usually sold out very quickly, typically on the same day they are released. I ordered them in the middle of work!
 
Here's a glance at all the supplies that come with the kit. 
 
 
For my first cards using the kit, I used Copic markers to create two different scenes for the same mermaid. As always, I loved creating starry night scenes. When I finished one and showed to my husband, he suggested that this mermaid would fit into a sunrise/sunset scene very well. Neither of the scenes I have tried with Copics befgore, I thought it would be a good idea to learn new techniques.

A Fairy Happy Birthday

I tried no line coloring with Copic markers today. Since I'm a complete novice in Copics, I started my first attempt by following Kelly Latevola's youtube video with a similar scene. I loved how it turned out.

Farewell From Camping Friends

One of my coworkers is leaving the team for a better job. It is a new territory for him. I made this card for him and had everybody on the team to sign on the card. I tried to make the card not too girly. Only after finishing the card, I realized there is not enough room for 20 people to sign. I ended up adding a blank page to the back of the card. It was a huge design flaw, but luckily it turned out well.
