HAPPY TO BE BACK, AND MY FIRST DT PROJECT "FOR YOUR INSPIRATION" .....

Good morning lovely Friends and Followers!  
The holiday was super, but it's oh-so-great to get back to all the things I love, including Blogging!  Thank you for the wonderful comments you left whilst I was away - you really are the best.  I will catch up with you all, as soon as possible.
*****
I am so excited to share my first DT project for the FYI Challenge, and I hope you will pop over there to check out the fab. inspiration from the very talented Design Team, and details of a 15% discount at Your Next Stamp for all participants in the challenge. 
Here is this fortnight's amazing and inspirational picture which we would like you to work with, and you can interpret it in any way you wish  - how could you resist joining in the fun??!!

Sooooo - here is my offering - hope you like it!


Recipe:-
Acrylic "Bravura" stamp bought years ago on e-bay and never used - just waiting for the right moment!
Inked with Adirondack Denim.
Mermaid and sky coloured with Copics.
Layers - leftovers of white and navy card, roughly torn.
Base card  - Bazzill - sorry don't know the name of the colour.
A sprinkling of Stampin Up Dazzling Diamonds glitter here and there.
"Bliss" sentiment also from SU.
Shell and twine from stash.
*************
I would like to enter the following Challenge -
