Inkspirational #322 - Moodboard - always be a mermaid

 This is my DT card for Inkspirational #322.  This week we have a lovely Mood Board to inspire us.

Source: https://butterflyreflectionsink.blogspot.com/2015/08/august-mood-board.html

I was inspired by the left panel with the layers of colors - and generally all of the colors!

I stenciled the background using Semicircles Med Century Modern stencil by Claire Brennan Designs.  The mermaid die is unbranded from Amazon  and the stamps are Inner Mermaid from Ellen Hutson (retired)  I added enamel dots, heart and star as well as three drops of Nuvo Gloss Simply White on the crown.

So please ponder the Mood Board and see what it inspires you to create.  We'd love to have you link up over at Inkspirational.  You'll also find lots of inspiration from the rest of the creative DT!

You have until 8/23 to link up!


I'm also linking my card to the following challenges:
