Dragon's Lair Facebook Group April freebie challenge

Dragons Lair Facebook Group April freebie challenge
https://www.facebook.com/groups/636646656454888/

Each month there is a free digi stamp on the facebook group.  If you make a card or other project with it you can request the next month's free digi.

My eyes are bad so I printed out the image large-Penny Dragons Discovery and coloured it with chalks and markers, then scanned and reduced it down and printed it out smaller.  Cut out and layered onto paper from Dragon's Lair Artistic Expressions set.  Added ribbon
Added punched flowers and rhinestone.

Alicia Bel facebook group challenge - 4th card

April challenge on the Alicia Bel facebook group
https://www.facebook.com/groups/187877358304468/
The theme is animals, real or fantastic or beings that are animals in part, such as mermaids, centaurs, etc.
Also worth any digi where an animal, insect, fish, etc. appears. Even if it's like a pet. Or any digi where the character wears an animal costume. 

We had to make teams of four for the challenge.  I am in the team with Lisa Jannaway, Susan Bennett and Bonnie Kohane.

We are having fun making cards and chatting to each other.  The team finished the first four cards and guessed the clues correctly.

We decided that we wanted to make some more cards using the lovely Alicia Bel digi stamps so here is my fourth card for the challenge.

I have coloured Alicia Bel stamp Little Mermaid bubles using twinkling H2O watercolour paints for the tail and hair and Copics for the skin and eyes.    I coloured the fish with gel pens but the bright colours don't show up in the scan

The background is coloured with H2O watercolour paints Sea Spray, Bashful Blue and Cool water.

I would also like to add this card to the following:
