#Mermay 2020 Challenge 1

Good evening! May is commonly known now as Mermay with all things mermaid being celebrated and shared during the month of May. I don't usually get time to participate a lot in all the fun goings on, but as we're in lockdown this year and I can colour and craft a little more when working from home, I thought I would join in for once!

Having looked around the internet for some Mermay challenges, most of them seem to be aimed at artists, who draw and paint, neither of which I can do! So I decided to make my own list, based on the huge amount of mermaid stamps, both rubber and digi, that I have in my collection.

So here's my list... I probably won't get to make a card for every challenge as I don't have THAT much free time to haul out all my crafting stuff every day, but I will definitely be colouring every day and will post them as and when I can!

And here's Day 1 - Little Mermaids using the Little Mermaids set from The Greeting Farm.
