My GD Mermaid Sunshine card for Crafts and Me (Hannah Lynn image)

Hi everyone,

 I hope you've had a great weekend? 

 I am a guest designer for the month of June at the Crafts and Me challenge blog and this is my 2nd card for them. I absolutely adore these images by Hannah Lynn which can be found at the Crafts and Me online store. I coloured her tail and top with green and red Copic markers and then used some clear glue and glitter over the top. These papers are from Echo Park and I loved this sentiment. I didn't have any sand to add to my little bottle so I used some puffy embossing powder instead, fooled my hubby so I was happy with my sand replacement.

Flourish with a Bling have a massive Stocktale sale for June - Every product is just $2 !! All throughout June, everything is $2, no exceptions!! I hope you'll check out our website as we have our own unique products and we post worldwide. Please email if you would like rough estimates of shipping, if we can send it as a large letter we will or perhaps get your friends to all buy too and share the postage! If you're order is over $200AUD we will pay half the shipping (international orders) or all the postage for Aussie orders.

    Thanks for the comments on my small canvas -I just rubbed the acrylic paint into the embossing then wiped most of it off with a baby wipe-it takes the excess off the surface but leaves the rest in the crevices
