Make A Splash!

June seems to be winding down too fast for me! Where are the long days of Summer? It seems like it's been gloomy (cloudy and rainy) here for days! Its really humid too making it feel much warmer than it actually is. Miss Moriko keeps giving me the sad eyes saying< "Hey! Did you forget we didn't walk yet?"  She's going to have to wait until tonight when it cools off. 

Since I've been day dreaming of all things tropical lately it makes sense that I'd be so attracted to this challenge at Cupcake Inspirations! Isn't that mermaid fin diving into waves of cream with rainbow sprinkles divine? Birch Press Design is giving a prize there this week too - another good reason for you to play! 
I started my card with a panel of distress ink in Tumbled Glass, Mermaid Lagoon and Wilted Violet. Lots of splattering of water, watered down ink, and some white ink for some dimension. 
I arranged my scene with stamped and die cut images from Reverse Confetti called Mermaid Kisses - my favorite mermaid set ever!
To complete the scene I added a frame and a simple sentiment. Some yummy Jewels from Pretty Pink Posh add some sparkle and shine! 
Wishing you a beautiful day!

Lovely card, Jeanne! The mermaid is so sweet and colored wonderfully. The background looks great and I really like the frame die. Great job. Hope it gets a little less gloomy for you soon!
