The Paper Shelter Challenge #542 Inspired by A Book

Good morning and welcome to my DT post for the new challenge from The Paper Shelter. This week our challenge is entitled Inspired By A Book - you can interpret this anyway you like. You could use a character from a book, use a book cover for inspiration or make something book related, for example a bookmark. 

I used the gorgeous Playing Under The Sea with The Little Mermaid by Hans Christian Andersen as my inspiration. I loved this book as a child and read it over and over again!
