CARD DETAILS

I decided to go with a very simple project this month. I wanted to use a mermaid stamp but since I was short on time (I made this card right before I left for CREATE) I knew I wont be able to color it, so I decided to use colored cardstock instead and create a color block background.

I cut several colors of Simon Says Stamp cardstock (all linked below) into 1 1/4″ wide strips and adhered them onto an A2 top folding card base. Next I used black ink and stamped the mermaid.

For my sentiment I used Sending Mermaid Kisses And Starfish Wishes message from the kit and heat embossed it in white embossing powder onto black cardstock and foam mounted onto the card.

I also embellished my card using Sparkling Clear sequins and clear drops from my stash and I randomly scattered those around my project.
