New from The Art and Creations of Lauren C Waterworth - Under the Sea Digi Crafting Kit

She's done it again!  There's another new fabulous Digi Crafting Kit available from The Art and Creations of Lauren C Waterworth:

The kit includes embellishments, backgrounds, frames and alphabet letter amongst other items and there are lots and lots of beautiful elements in there!

The kit is available here:

I have a series of cards to share using this new kit.  For this first one I put one of the beautiful mermaid pictures into a circular frame and added a sentiment.  On the inside back of the card and the front two panels I've used one of backgrounds, splitting the front of the card with acetate.  The topper was then put on the acetate panel so it 'floats' against the background.
