Welcome
And a warm welcome to my newest follower, Mary Smith - I cannot find if you have a blog Mary, please contact me if you do so I can visit you. :)
This card was made for a great grand daughter who loves pink and mermaids. As I only have one mermaid stamp, that I used last year, I looked up clip art online and Mr G provided me with this beautiful pink toned image!
I used some paper from Recollections Rainbow Inks collection for the background.
I seated her on a 'rock' created from a kraft card die cut circle, and stamped with a Lavinia 'rocks' stamp, after liberally coating her tail with Wink of Stella.
The sentiment was gold embossed on the water, which was created by a die cut circle cut in half with some fancy scissors, and then overlapped across the base of the card.
The inside of the card was finished with a strip of the patterned paper over some washi tape.

ReplyDeleteLovely card Maxine. I like the scene that you created - she looks right at home! Thank you for entering the Anything Goes Challenge at Lil Patch of Crafty Friends.
ReplyDeleteShe is a real cutie and reminds me of the stamps by StampingBella that I saw in an email only this morning. Just love those big saucer eyes and the chubby figure of her, she is so pretty.
ReplyDeleteGreat background and rock for her to sit on too Maxine.
