Mermaid and school play

Good morning lovelies - well I hope you are well - I am and feel very proud of my two little girls - it was their Christmas play yesterday - Lucy was the inn keepers wife and Penny was an angel. They both behaved beautifully and remembered all their lines - in fact the whole school performed brilliantly - the singing was so good. Here's a few pictures;



In the bottom one they were all singing and pointing to the jigsaw that was the theme of the production - fabulous xxx

Anyway - enough of the proud mum moment - onto todays card - it includes an image from the Scrapbook stamp society called La Mer  and its by the artist Mitzi Sato-Wiuff - you can get it here.


The image has been coloured with promarkers and I've used liquid pearls around the neck and in the hair. The flowers and beads were from a prize from the allsorts blog supplied by the pretty little ribbons shop - thanks guys - they're beautiful.I've also used some glitter/microbeads in there from ranger.

I'd like to enter this card into the following challenges

Hope to see you then!
