#mermay Challenge 30 - Celebrations

Hello and welcome to today's #mermay challenge post! I actually managed to post this one on the actual day - a first this month! I really wasn't expecting this whole month long challenge to be this much hard work. Whilst I have really enjoyed all the extra colouring, the actual card making became more of a challenge and the constant refilling of my Copics is a chore as well! If I do it again next year, I will definitely plan it ahead of time! 

Anyway today's challenge is all about celebrations, so I used this gorgeous image from Faery Ink from the Mermaid Birthday Party bundle, called Mermaid Kisses. Isn't she just adorable in her shell holding up a birthday cupcake?! I kept the card fairly simple (more for time reasons than anything else) and just added a few shell die cuts to each corner, but I do love how she came out!
