Summer is back!


 Good morning, hope the sun is shining where you are, it's so good to have the warm weather again after the cooler spell. 
This fortnight's challenge at Crafty Catz begins today, our lovely sponsor is
Janet has picked the optional twist of  HOT COLOURS.
I've had this sweet mermaid digi (Mo Manning- I think it's a Patreon image) for some time and finally found time to colour her up. I've used my markers for the image and Distress Oxides for the sea and sky plus a touch of white gel pen. Sentiment is a stamp- old magazine freebie. I used a punch to make the border.
Well that's it from me, don't forget to check out the beautiful cards from the rest of the team over at Crafty Catz.

Wishing you all a lovely weekend with plenty of sunshine

This mermaid is absolutely enchanting, and the colors truly capture the warmth of summer! Her flowing auburn hair is so striking, and the beautifully blended sea and sky create such a dreamy backdrop. The Distress Oxide shading adds wonderful depth, making the scene feel alive. Hope you're enjoying plenty of sunshine this weekend!
