Art by MiRan 1st Birthday Celebrations

Good morning and welcome to my post for the Art by MiRan Showcase blog. It's the first birthday of Art by MiRan and I am lucky enough to on their design team for the Facebook Challenges. I remember when I first saw Art by MiRan's images. I fell in love with them instantly and just had to join in with their challenge.  My first ever Art by MiRan card was using Star-Dressy Girl 03 back in January last year. 

The design team have all been set a challenge for the Art by MiRan birthday celebrations. I have chosen to take my very first DT card and recreate it. My first card as part of the Facebook design team was using the cute Mermaid.

And here is my new take on her - different colours and a different layout, but still a cute card, don't you think?! Completely by accident I have used the same border die, but this one is a lot more frilly than the first one. I have a thing for pink and turquoise at the minute and this image just worked so well in these colours.
