This was a fun card to make, maybe because I enjoy coloring.  I embossed the mermaid with a black glitter embossing powder so it sparkles, but it is hard to see.

For the background I used a light blue watercolor and lightly colored the sky.  I used a teal blue and green for the fins of the mermaid and a light brown for the rocks.

This could be a masculine card or for any occasion.  I stamped a lighthouse and then used a post-it note to cover the area I wanted to keep white.  I then proceeded to use a light brown ink and in circular motions color in the area I didn’t want to stay white.  I used a small ribbon and left the sentiment off but could easily be a Father’s Day, birthday or even a retirement card for someone.

Who doesn’t love to shake something on their birthday.  Well why not make it a birthday card.  This cute card was created using sequins and mini beads while the flamingo looks on.
