Beautiful Mermaid

It's team B's turn to host the challenge over at The Paper Shelter for the next two weeks and the theme is...

Use your Ribbons

 We would love to see your fabulous creations and you could win a great prize.

I have two cards for you today using the same image, the reason I have two is that I was having terrible trouble with the easel card, I printed the image too big, cut papers too small, it was just one disaster after another, I ended up chucking the half made version across my desk and giving up. I had a bit of a re-think and came up with the over the edge card idea, so next morning while looking after my grandson I put my card together in Photoshop and printed everything out, while I was waiting for him to drop off to sleep I resized the original image and printed the paper again and as soon as he was asleep I went into the craft room and made the new card, when it was finished and he was still sleeping I managed to get the easel card finished too, without any problems this time.
