It's Pollycrafts Monday and this week I get to set the challenge! As it is the world famous Henley Regatta week where's there's lots of splashing about, I chose water as this week's theme! But I didn't go for a sailing theme, instead I used the sweet mermaid fromthe newest Swings and Slides Enchant and Explore set...
I just love her hair, you can almost feel it swaying in the water! I also used the sentiment from Sonny Says clear stamp set - I just love the whimsical sentiments in this set! To give the whole card a little shimmer, I added glitter glue to her ball and around her tail as well as on the web ribbon and red border - you can see it better below (but not much better, lol!!)...
I hope you get a chance to play along this week! You can see the other gorgeous DT makes here!
