Mermaids

Hey y'all!  Getting caught up on the blog today.  Darn it, I hate falling behind.  

Anyways, I'm posting my Avery Elle card a few days late but better late than never, right! 

For today's post, I'm playing with the Mermaids stamp set.  I tell ya - this set just makes me happy!  I love these little mermaids and I especially love how the pair fantastically with the previously released Bubbles set.  

If you didn't see the video introducing this set, be certain to check it out here. 

To the card, shall we? Actually... I created TWO cards! 

For my first card, I created a distress paint background by simply circling the paint in the center of the cardstock.  I die cut it using the new Pierced Mat die. 


Then, I stamped, die cut and colored my mermaids.  The sentiment is stamped on a banner from Wonky Stitches . 

For my next card, I created a distress ink blended background with a custom stencil I created with just vellum and a die.  I love this technique!  Here I paired the mermaid and seahorse from Mermaids with a fish from Bubbles.

Thank you so much for stopping in and sharing part of your day with me.
Have a wonderful day!
