As soon as I saw the colors for the challenge, I thought of this stamp. Years ago, while snorkeling off the coast of Lanai, I remembered the sand on the bottom of the ocean, deep pinkish/purple color of the corals and the blue sky above. I though if I had my golden Mermaid rising from the depths, this would be perfect. I'm giving this card to a friend who is obsessed with Mermaids as much as I am!
*The background was made by 'dragging' the ink pads across the cardstock!

Oh, I love mermaids too and this one is especially gorgeous done in the gold embossing. I love how you used this week's colors for the sea bed and to highlight your stunning mermaid. You have made a fantastic card with these colors! ~Karen.

I love mermaids too Patti, one of my favourite quotes is, Always be yourself, unless of course you can be a mermaid, then always be a mermaid. I digress, your card is gorgeous and a wonderful way to display the colours. Love this to bits.

Breathtaking gorgeousness!! As you can tell mermaids are amongst my fairies and are beloved to me as well. Funny I’m going through your gallery and happened along this masterpiece. I have had this stamp added to my wishlist along with the other sold out 2018 July Kit by hero’s art. So yes you probably enabled me even more as to getting the stamp and treating myself .lol you may have inspired me to maybe even case yours it’s so gorgeous!! We shall see. Btw are you local or just vacationed on Lanai?
