Something Else on Saturday #253 Featuring Aquata from Sweet November Stamps

Good morning and happy Saturday! For today's Something Else on Saturday, I have used another of my Sweet November Stamps mermaid stamps. I have a few of the clear stamp sets, but am so glad that they are now releasing all their clear sets in a digi bundle for a few days as I just don't have the space for loads more clear stamps and if you know me, mermaid stamps are always a must have! 

Anyway I made a quick A5 sized card for this one, with just a couple of pieces of patterned papers and a sentiment from a different stamp set and a few dots of Nuvo drops!
