The Paper Shelter Challenge #626 - With Love

Good morning and welcome to my Dt post for this week's challenge from The Paper Shelter. This week our challenge is carrying on with the theme of love after Valentine's last week and is...With Love. Your card or project does not have to be a Valentine's one (but can be of course!), but a card that says or shows love somewhere!

For my card I used the gorgeous Mermaid's Melody image with the perfect sentiment! I added a few seaweed and coral die cuts to some "sand" and added a bubbly background paper for my sea. I love how this one came out.

Good morning and welcome to my DT post for the new challenge from Hearts Quest Fantasy. This month, as always, our challenge is an anything fantasy goes challenge, but the optional twist this month is to include a leprechaun in honour of St Patrick's Day next month.
