Mermaid

I have been a naughty blogger lately, and haven't made any cards.  Today I was itching to make one and came up with this:


The pearlescent paper is from Craftwork cards (and reminds me of kelp). The image is from Digistamps 4 joy. It is one of two I chose as my prize from their last challenge. The aqua cardstock is from Papermania capsule collection. The flat backed pearls were from Hobbycraft and the gold ribbon has been recycled off a giftset I had been given for my birthday. The punch around the page punches are by Martha Stewart. The bubbles, tail, eyes and bracelet have had glossy accents applied to give them a wet look.

I hope you like it.  Thanks for looking :o)

I would like to enter this into the following challenges: Digistamps 4 Joy - Recycle.
Digital Tuesday - All about the girls.
