cool as a ...mermaid

 Phew! Just not used to these temperatures here! I'm hiding indoors, blinds and windows closed , my craft room is the coolest in the house, nice and comfortable in here :) Too hot  for me outside- even in the shade, there is a breeze but it's a hot one!  Marvin is spreadeagled in front of the fan, nice and quiet now but not going to be impressed when he realises that he's not getting a second walk today, far too hot for crazy dogs to run around even in the shady woods. 

My card today was inspired by watching my small granddaughters play in their pool with their mermaid dolls, one way to keep the kiddies cool when the temperatures rise. The dolls were really cute with lovely purple and turquoise hair, hence my colour combo! The  beautiful image is  Moth and Fern from Ching Chou Kuik, to me she looks like mermaid. I've coloured with Copics as usual. I recently bought some DP pads from the Works- fantastic value at £4 each-  12x12 papers in beautiful colours and patterns and good  quality, not at all flimsy. The one I've used here looks like water so a great background for my mermaid. I've framed her with tiny pearls and added a starfish (cut from the cover of one othe paper pads, a little seahorse and some diecut leaves that look a bit sea-weedy. A few clear 'drops' and stamped sentiment to finish.

Thanks for stopping by today, enjoy the rest of it, wherever you are, whatever you're doing and whatever the temperature.
