Today I am playing along in the current challenge over at A Day for Daisies, which is to CASE one of the DT member's cards. I chose to pull inspiration from this lovely card created by Broni. Not only did her card get me to create another 'smooshed' watercolor background but I also found myself adding sequins and a white sentiment against the watercolor. All of this creates a lovely background for this Mermaid in a Jar digi that I have just been dying to color up. Being quite familiar with the idea of fairies trapped in a jar this was the first stamp I'd seen that had a tiny mermaid caught in the same situation and I love it. Though I'm sure it is only a temporary situation for her... perhaps she is being relocated to a new pond or lagoon. ;)
Well, thanks for stopping by today. I catch ya' again tomorrow! :)

On wow, I've never heard of a mermaid in a jar, that's so cute. You really outdid yourself Amy, what a super fantastic job.
