Born to be a mermaid

Hello,

It's Challenge time again over at the Heart's Quest Fantasy Challenge Blog.  As always it starts the first Saturday of the month, and  lasts for about a month. I do hope that you'll join us there. 

The theme of the Challenge, as always, is Fantasy, however as long as it's Fantasy pretty much anything goes. If you're not sure what we mean by that just check out the Challenge Rules, or in the side bar on the Challenge blog. We also have a monthly optional theme, this month it's Mermaids. Sometime last year, while on holiday in the US, I bought a pad of Mermaids themed papers by Graphic 45. So decided to use that to make a second card.
