Anita is our hostess for the Teapot Tuesday tea-party this week. Our cards are going to Tana, recovering from a fall.
Do you know anybody you think would enjoy being the recipient of a card shower for any reason - celebrating with them, encouragement...There's a link with Jacqueline's details at the bottom of every TPT challenge post, and also a sticky in the forum.
Anyway, here's my silly animal. She comes from Etsy, an impulse purchase because she came with a dog that I knew I could use for last week's challenge. I stamped her on white card and embossed, then coloured her tail with Twinkling H2Os and her bikini with an Inktense pencil. That's actually stamped twice, so it's shaped slightly, embossed with clear EP. I did cut the star twice too, but I lost it.
The pool is a coffee filter with Brusho Acrylic Sprays (I think!) from my stash - I embossed it with a forest branch ef for more ripples, and there's some nice silver shimmer in it.
Sentiment is from YNS, and to earn an extra cookie I added some tiny punched flowers with purple gem centres to the sentiment. The little leaves are actually just scraps from the GinaMarie cover plate I used for my most recent MIX card.
She is slightly shaped, with the centre of her body stuck down and a little bit of foam tucked under her head and tail. I'll add a close-up of her in the challenge thread, which is HERE.

Love your little purrmaid. She is just gorgeous. Going to have to add her to my mermaid collection because she is so sweet. Who couldn’t smile at the sentiment too.
