Swimming by to say...

Today I am sharing a pretty birthday card that I made with the new

Medium Dotted Background die.

Everytime I see this die it reminds me of bubbles in the water so I've already made a couple of ocean cards with it.

For this card I used 
Mermaid2stamp
fish2stamp
grass die
The orange "coral" was created with the palm tree die from the island2stamp dies.

I can't find the picture I took of the inside of my card but it says,

Happy Birthday!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Swimming by to Say...

I am just loving the new Mermaid stamps from 

the Stamps of Life!

I decided to make a fun flip it card with this cutie today.

I colored her with prisma pencils and blended with gamsol and blending stumps.

The card base is the rectangle flip it and I used shells2stamp too!

Here's how it looks when it's flipped open.

I hope to play with these cute little mermaids more this week...I'll share my results.

Thanks for stopping by!
