Happy Sunday (or Monday!) Friends!
This is such a fun post! I have the honor of being a Guest Design Team Member for Lacy Sunshine Challenges! The fun part is showing you the image I had the joy to work with- Emily Amphitrite! Emily is from Heather's (the artist) new Mythology Collection, available in the Lacy Sunshine Shop.
I had to look up the word "Amphitrite" seeing that I am not a mythology expert, or even a novice (lol). Seems Amphitrite is a sea-godess from Greek mythology (is there another?) and the wife of Poseidon under the influence of the Olympian pantheon. I should have known that! I also discovered that no less than 7 ships of the Royal Navy are named HMS Amphitrite, frigates in both the United States and French Navies, an asteroid and in baby name books! There is something I do know- Emily Amphitrite was soooo soooo fun to color and make up into a card!

Isn't she gorgeous?
The theme of this fortnight's challenge is "Anything Goes." On top of that, Heather gives you one of her fantastic images to use- free!!!

Lovely card. I love all Heather's digis and have a lot now. Heather is sponsoring Feeling Sketchy challenges for June. She has been very generous and given each of the design team one of her digis to use.
