A Sparkly Mermaid

Welcome

This card was made for a young girl who loves pinks, purples and mermaids!
It started with a Brusho panel I had in my stash of pre-made backgrounds.  The panel even had some sparkle on it from Brusho pearl SprinkleIT that I had used


The images were all stamped on plain card and cut out after being water coloured and liberally smothered with WoS.


The stamps, including this sentiment, were all part of a set of magazine freebies. 
 I white embossed the sentiment directly onto the background.


Here you can see some of the shimmer - I even trimmed a piece of silver card into the mirror centre.


The shells were water coloured and 'winked',  the seaweed  was stamped onto a snippet of water coloured coloured card


The inside was finished with a strip of washi tape, keeping the sparkly theme :).

What a pretty brusho background from your stash and perfect for the beautiful and shimmery underwater scene on your wonderful card x. Love your attention to detail with the centre of the mirror Maxine x.

Well,you certainly couldn't go wrong with this card - you included all those things that the young lady loved and who does not like a mermaid.
This is such a pretty card Maxine and I love the sentiment - 'starfish kisses' is so lovely.
Hugs, Neet xx0

Wow, what a fabulous card Maxine! I love the inky background, the shimmer and shine is just beautiful. And speaking of beautiful, omgosh, your mermaid is stunning! I love that you put mirror paper in her mirror. Love the shells and seaweed, an underwater scene that turned out amazing. I'm sure the young girl loved this card! Hugs, Brenda
