Mermaid Tree

Mermaid Tree - I have been chuckling about this card for a few days now. Camille is a very unlikely Christmas tree, yet here she is as a tree. Camille is a Michelle Perkett image. All of Michelle's mermaids are so fun. They have just the right balance of whimsy and beauty.
Do you think she looks like a Christmas tree with her red bows? The challenge this week at Michelle's challenge blog is under the sea. Go there and peek at what the team has done with some of Michelle's beautiful mermaids.
Camille is colored with Copic's. With a little stickles to light her up. The punch is a MS. The flower is Prima. DP is from my stash.
