The best catch ever...

 

TGIF my friends!

During MerMay Sweet November Stamps hosted two month long mermaid coloring challenges, one on Facebook and the other on Instagram. On Facebook participants were asked to color every day and share their progress in daily albums. At the end of the month everyone who had a photo in all 31 albums would receive an exclusive new mermaid digi. On Instagram the challenge was to share a completed mermaid card or project once a week with a special hashtag and everyone who shared their five cards by the end of the month would receive a different exclusive mermaid digi. Well, those two exclusive cuties are being sent out today and even though they won't be available for purchase to the general public until MerMay 2024, I still wanted to share a couple cards using them and hopefully excite all of our awesome and creative participants who will be enjoying them soon. 

On the first card we have the beautiful Brooke Wavedrifter for all of our Facebook friends and on my second card is the giggly Cascade Everflow for our Instagram friends. As you can see, I also wanted to show how well each of these exclusive mermaids work with the hunky SN newsletter freebie, Mariner Sevenseas. One pairing creates a cute couple acting all coy and flirty with each other while the second pairing finds Mariner showing off and impressing his lady love.  ;) 

 

Both challenges were super successful with more participation than we could even hope for and I just want to thank all of our awesome friends of Sweet November who helped make this MerMay the best one yet! It's your excitement and creativity that keeps us going, so a big round of applause to all of you! 

And don't forget that we have one last mermaid digital release coming to the store tomorrow so hopefully you'll be able to join me for my Live coloring at 11am PST over on my Adventures in Coloring with Amy Facebook page.

Toodles!
