The @sweetnovemberstamps merwees always make me feel happy. The new set is so adorable as each merwee gets to dance with an aquatic friend. For this card, I combined Copic markers and polychromo pencils, which is new to me, but I originally went for pastel colors and finally found the result too bland, so I added a bit more contrast with polychromos.
