A Day At The Races!

Good morning - I hope it is because this is a scheduled post and I am actually doing it Tuesday afternoon!  I am scheduling this because it is my sister's birthday today and she is currently on holiday in Ripon.  Dave and I are going over there this morning and we are all going out for lunch and then off to the Ripon Races, they are having an evening race.  We will stay over the night so loads of champagne for us lol!! I have never been to a race before so I have been looking forward to it. So I need to schedule this to give me enough time to say hello to all my blog friends and then get ready! Goodness me what to wear because the forecast is pants for the day so I think that's what I'll be wearing!!

Here is my card for today:

I love mermaids and spent most of the summer holidays when I was young swimming and pretending to be a mermaid!  This image is from Sureya called Sounds of the Ocean, you can see her listening to a shell if you look closely.  The paper and sentiment are from Rasperry Road, I digitally added the bottle, shell and seahorse to the corners.  I have cut the sentiment with a Spellbinders die and used some twine which I think was on a label on a pair of jeans.  The sand dollar charm is from my stash.  I have added some Glossy Accents to the bubbles to make them more dimensional.  I have coloured her with Copics and added Twinkling H2Os in Iridescent Blue to her tail which you can see better in this picture:

I would like to enter the following challenges:
