Lucky Charms Aren't Just For Leprechauns!

 Hey Crafty Peeps,

Happy St. Patrick's Day.  Are you all wearing green today? 

I'm not a fan of green to be honest so I'm wearing orange, but my kids went off to school proudly wearing their new green shirts.

It's been a while since I've coloured anything from The Paper Shelter as I've been concentrating on design team projects and work, but I won some a little while ago and had to have this gorgeous mermaid (The Mermaid and the Treasure).

I love making different types of cards and came across this one on Pinterest. Someone was frustrated with stepper cards always flopping, so they created one that's both a stepper and an easel!

I've kept the mermaid in cool tones, with some pop of warmth in the treasure chest and  surrounding starfish.

I am just loving these mermaid scale gems that were sent to me with a prize. They're perfect to nestle into my 'sea foam' cheesecloth!
