I decided to challenge myself to try to incorporate several challenges into one special birthday card.
For CT0319 Wags, Wings & Whiskers, I created an ocean scene for my mermaid. Mermaids must have pets, right? So I added some fish, a crab and a starfish.
For the ABC11B2 Alphabet Challenge B, I have a fish blowing bubbles, beads around her neck and beautiful hair. It also has a Birthday verse inside for the double challenge.
For the WT731 Star Quality challenge, if you look closely you'll see that I added stars around her waist and there's also a little starfish at the bottom. The bonus includes gold stars and the gold in the background.
For F4A473 Easter or Spring, I used spring time colors for my mermaids tail and necklace. Mermaids must celebrate spring too!
I used an alcohol ink panel that I had previously made when experimenting with Tim Holtz inks and mixatives. Thanks Susie and Anita for recommending that I keep those bg pieces for later use! I made my mermaid and ocean sea life with dies. I added Crystal Lacquer to fish eyes and starfish. I also added Stickles glitter to her necklace.
Whew! My Friday challenge to myself is done!

I didn't see the starfish at first, because I was looking at those cute little pufferfish. Lovely dies, and a very sweet mermaid. The background is beautiful, too.

Well, I'm impressed with making it through all those challenges, Gracie! These are different types of pets, but hey, they are pets none the less. Love her hair...very pretty underwater scene~
