Autumn Mermaid at The Paper Shelter

 Hello Crafty Peeps,

I'm back again with some more inspiration for The Paper Shelter. This week our challenge theme is For A Friend, so you can interpret this any way you like.

I have used 'Pretty Mermaid' for a layered birthday card. I am always using mermaid images for summer cards, so I thought I would do something different and use more autumnal colours.

I think this paper is meant to be rainbows, but it looks cool upside-down as mermaid scales!

I kept the mermaid within the colour scheme of the papers, just brighter for the tail.

I used shimmer paint all over the image then covered it with 3D gloss, I'm a bit gutted about the cracks, but not a lot I can do about that!

Thank you for stopping by today. Your kind comments are always appreciated.

Please come and join in our challenge this week and remember, you can use any image but if you use a Paper Shelter image you are eligible for a higher value prize!

You can also share your creations over in our Facebook Group.
