Art by MiRan Facebook Challenge #1 for August

It's my first ever hosting of the Art by MiRan Facebook Challenge today. We have changed how we are doing the challenges each month and we will be having 2 challenges every month - one will be themed and the other will be an anything goes challenge. This first challenge this month has the theme Lazy Days and I chose to use the gorgeous Mermaid image for my card. I thought she was perfect lazing around in the bathtub for this challenge.

And here she is. I went for some bright purple and golden yellows mixed with the paler aqua blue and totally love how this one came out.
