Totally Papercrafts Challenge

 Its my turn to choose the theme for the Totally Papercrafts challegne and I have chosen Pets - not animals but pets ...

I clhose the theme before we lost our beloved pussy cat Miffy, so I have struggled a bit with this - I went for this cute mermaid and her ickle sea horse pets in the end.  The image is coloured using my pens and then I cut her out and added pearl pen drops. I matted the iamge onto a doilly.  I love this dp, might be my current favourite!!  I added some flowers with spacers and brads at the centre, the ickle starfish charm, raffia and some pearls.

I was having a bit of a play round with some diecuts and scraps of white embossed cardstock, and came up with this - I am not sure if I really like it or not, is that butterfly too big!!!  Anyway I am going it into this week's Simon Says Stamp challenge as the theme is a WoW inspiration picture.
