  1. Cute little mermaid! I like how you used the cardstock strips for the sketch, but kept the full background. It's fun to switch gears now and then, and I do love a cute card like this!

  6. I feel you on the floral cards. I love a good floral, but sometimes it is fun to step out of the box and create something unexpected! I love what you did with it, the under the sea theme! Thanks for playing along with the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge (AHSC).
