Hello, Monday! Hope your week goes well.
It seems like I cannot get enough mermaid action, but in truth I am just trying to clear out my make piles and there've been quite a few mermaids swimming around those waters with one or two more in the pile. And actually, these are kind of fun to make in the dead of winter! 😊
Supply List:
Polkadoodles Meribelle pre-coloured digital image on background
Dick Blick tag board for 6x6 card base and layers
DCWV 12x12 starfish designer paper
Embossing folders: Crafters Companion Bubbles and Ocean Waves
We are 3 Starfish Wishes digital sentiment
Inside: Gecko Galz and DigiDoodle digital sentiments
Crafters Companion Gemini Oval Torn Edge Nested dies
Whimsy Build an Ocean die (starfish)
Fish punch
Corner punch
Distress inks, oxides, markers and crayons
(Salty Ocean, Faded Jeans, Seedless Preserves)
Spectrum Noir Glitter Pens
I chose this Splitcoaststampers sketch for my layout design.
Here are my mixed media pieces that were dry-embossed first by swiping the folder with a DOX pad and running the white card through it to get the white raised pattern. Then I used crayons and markers to add additional colors. The sentiment was left over from a previous project and using it caused me to hunt up a sheet of starfish designer paper and dies in my stash to create the theme.
All edges were ink-distressed and corners were rounded with a punch.
Close-ups:
Glittery starfish die cuts with two glittery fish and mermaid headband.
Glittery headband and fish.
The inside of the card, with printed out digital sentiments from Gecko Galz and DigiDoodle, and designer paper mats.
The back of the card with the front to show continuity.
And final view.
Thanks for visiting and have a great Monday.

It's always so much fun to see your card story come together, Aimes. This one is brilliant with those amazing tropical, beachy colors. I agree, it's fun to do water-related cards in winter! She is ADORABLE, and the artist really colored her amazingly! Such sweetness! I hope to tackle my "need to finish" BOXES soon!

What a beautiful card with so much to see! I love the colours and the embossed detail has been so cleverly created.
I have a large box full of part done projects. I'm determined to get them all finished off this year (but I seem to remember having the same determination this time last year!).
Thanks for sharing your lovely card with us. Always a pleasure to visit your blog.
