Mermaid Thanks

Thought I would play with another of Di's Digi Downloads today - love these cute little girls (and thank you to Di for choosing my last card to be one of the Top 3 picks for the last challenge!). This week's challenge at Di's Digi Designs is called Summer Fun and this cute little mermaid looks like she's having lots of fun to me! This card is also for Open Minded Crafts Challenge #14 Water, Water Everywhere, for Live and Love Crafts Challenge #25 By The Sea (ok mine's technically in the sea, but I hope it counts!), Crafty Ribbons Challenge #96 Anything Goes With Ribbon, Crafty Little Fairies July Challenge Summer Fun and finally for Creative Inspirations Challenge #272 to use the sketch below. I rotated it to fit my image better.


And here she is - very green and turquoise today to match the old papers I pulled out of my stash.

    Hi Vannessa,
    Of course it counts! Great choice of image, and the green and blue papers give the feeling of her being in the water. Very cute card. Thanks for linking up to LLC's By the Sea challenge.

    A beautiful card Vanessa but unfortunately your link does not go back to Crafty Ribbons so I have to say that this time your gorgeous creation, will not be valid on the Challenge Blog this time because of this.
    Good Luck in all the others that you have entered
