Swimming By ...

Hello there, today I have a card to share that I made for my niece for her birthday. I was eager to ink up the MFT Mermazing Set and I thought the mermaid and turtle would be really cute on a card for her.
 

I started off by stamping the mermaid and turtle from the set using Memento Tuxedo Black. I coloured the images using Copic Markers & Spica Glitter Pens (the colours I used are listed below the supplies section) and then die cut them out using the coordinating dies. I then die cut a piece of Bristol cardstock using one of the MFT Stitched Dome Dies. I took the MFT Cloud Stencil and used this to create waves on to the panel using Distress Inks. I then stamped the plants at the bottom with MFT Sour Apple Ink.
 
 
To add some fun to the card, I decided to use an acetate card base. I added the background piece first using tape runner and then adhered the mermaid and turtle on top with foam tape. I then took a piece of black cardstock and stamped the 'swimming by to say' sentiment from the Sunny Studio Magical Mermaids set on to this using Versamark ink. I then took the 'happy birthday' sentiment from the MFT Adorable Elephants set and stamped this below. I applied white embossing powder and heat set. The piece was cut down and then added to the card with foam tape. To finish off, I added Morning Dew (clear) Nuvo Drops to look like water bubbles.

Since the acetate card is clear, I did cut three more of the domes to add to the inside of the card and also the back. This hid the adhesive and gave me somewhere to write. I had been hording the acetate card bases, so it was fun to finally use one! Thank you so much for visiting me today. I really do appreciate it. I hope you have a great day!

  7. Another useful swimming pool renovation is the addition of natural stone coping and decking. Stone coping and patios bring style to outdoor living spaces. Swimmingpool
