Birthday Wishes......

Hello my Crafty Friends!!!!

So I was very excited to receive The Greeting Farm's 

new mermaid stamps in the mail just recently. The 1st

set I played with was the Little Mermaids stamp set and dies.

My Mom's birthday is at the end of this month so this is who I 

made this cute card for.  I had fun playing with all my new dies 

and stamps.  I water colored the background using my Zig

Clean Color markers on Tim Holtz water color paper. I sprayed

it with water mixed with perfect pearls to give it a 

shimmery look too.  I created a really cute inside to this too

but I forgot to take a picture of it darn it!!!

Tank You.....

Hi Crafty Friends!!!

Hope everyone had a Fabulous weekend!!!

Still doing the remodel at our house but I 

was able to crank out some "Tank You" you cards!

I have several people to Thank for the wonderful 

Birthday gifts I received recently.  I saw this wonderful

card on Pinterest by Jessica Spencer not long ago 

using the cute Fintastic Friends set and I wanted to 

try my hand at casing it!!  Lawn Fawn stamps are so 

cute and practically anything you make with them comes out

Adorable!!!  I used the Merman Lawn Fawn ink for the 

bubbles inside the heart.  I used a Spellbinder heart die

to cut out a heart and used the negative piece to 

stamp all the bubbles in the heart shape. I layerd that

front panel on Stampin' Up Pool Party card stock and 

thought it matched quite well with the Merman ink.

After I colored up all the fish bowls and placed the 

fish inside I put glossy accents all over them and let

them dry to make them look like glass bowls.  I love 

the way they turned out.  

I heat embossed all the sentiments too!!
