Mermaid and robots???

That title sounds like a really bizarre combination but that's what this post is about!!!

I was contacted by another Etsy seller the other day with the offer of a free digi if I would make a card with it - well, how could I refuse???   I was even more pleased when I visited the shop here and saw the digis available :)
             I couldn't make up my mind so asked the artist to pick one for me and here she is -
I do hope I've done her justice - she was a real pleasure to colour and I'm thinking I may use her again for a spot of paper piecing on her tail.

I would like to enter her for the following -


Now my other card was done as a sample for Lily, the owner of The Octopode Factory.  She sent out some new artwork to the DT and I came up with this creation!  I do love that little robot - he seems to have a retro feel to him (retro sci-fi, is that even possible?).

I would like to put "Hank" in for this masculine challenge - http://thepapershelter.blogspot.com/.

Thanks so much for stopping by - hope your day is as sunny as mine is today :)

She does look like she'd be fun to color. m :-) And who better to do it. Just look at that gorgeous red hair! I'm not much of a robot girl but this little guy is kinda cute and I definitely get the sci-fi vibe from him too. Maybe a bit of Dr. Who? LOL Hugs! Dawn!

Your title made me hope for a robot mermaid, but these are both fabulous.

I love, Love, LOVE that Octopode robot. He's very 50's sci-fi retro.

Great cards. Great coloring.
