Gorgeous Glimmer Surfside - Sweet November Stamps...

Happy Fri-yay friends!

I hope all is well with you and those you love.

I am here today to show you a card which is quite possibly one of my own personal favourites!

I made this card using some of lovely Amy Young's gorgeous 

Sweet November Stamps 

Mer-May Digi's

Glimmer Surfside and Humphrey

&

Tide Mayfin

I so enjoyed creating this story!

I decided that the cute and rather pesky fish were pestering Glimmer to play with them because they are the same colour as her!  Don't you just love the expression on her beautiful face!  Amy is so clever!
