Looks like we are headed to Peggy's Cove in Nova Scotia, I have never been there, so what a treat for me.
It seems MM struck up a deal with a light house owner, since it is the busy tourist season and there are no rooms anywhere, we get to stay at the light house, the only catch is we have to somehow catch 42,000 lbs of fish.
Well I brought my mermaid friend, she knows where to find all the fish, so relax ladies, we can all get snockered and at the end of the day the mermaid will lead us to all the fish!

What a delightful card for the teapot party and partiers! We will surely be looking out for her. Don't want her caught in the nets. LOL Beautiful colours Cathleen, gorgeous image and love the big bubbles! She can have some of my fish tea and you too. On second hand, maybe she won't want to try it. ooops....being part fish and all. Sorry about that.

What if the mermaid gets schnockered? It could happen! Snort! Right now she is looking pretty good....she's got bubbles coming up....lets keep an eye on the bubbles, if they diminish, then we gotta do the fishing the old fashioned way, by challenging a bunch of tea potters to bring fish! Just hold your nose!
I love that you brought half a fish! She is very beautiful, classy, and a good swimmer. Maybe she can teach Marilyn to swim......Wonderful card and I love having your company!

Very pretty card - I love the coloring and the sparkles. She looks like she would be a big help in finding fish and probably knows a lot about what to see while we are there.
Your "water" is gorgeous - I so want to learn to watercolor like this!

What a fantastic card, gorgeous colours and sparkles. I don't like all mermaids, but this one I really do. Sabrina was a river goddess, and there is a poem by Milton with the lines "Sabrina Fair, listen where thou art sitting, 'neath the glassy cool translucent wave, intwisted braids of lilies knitting The loose train of thy amber-dropping hair... Your card is perfect for that - except for the lilies. And of course your mermaid can lead us to the best fishing areas - smart thinking.

oh those colors are so sparkling and pretty. When I do watercolor I get a Michigan swamp, you really captured the crisp clear water sparkling off Nova Scotia. Beautiful card . and how clever to bring a mermaid to the party! Love the oversized bubbles!

We have never had a mermaid at our party. How original. I say rather than have her lead us let's just let her do the catching and we will cheer her on, and on, and on. The bkgrd. embossing is perfect for the under the sea scene.
