Shellebration

 Hello, Hello!

I am using crafting to calm my nerves today, lol.  After spending way too much money on a retaining wall, having a washing machine go out and now a dripping toilet and bad shut off valve, I am ready to throw in the towel!  

Thankfully, I can destress with crafting.  Today I made a card for a friend for her to give to her granddaughter who love mermaids and has red hair.  

I used the sketch at Tuesday Morning Sketches.  I am also linking up to Inkspirational for their stitching/faux stitching challenge- I have faux stitching on my oval die cut. 

I stamped my mermaid- from the Sweet n Sassy Set, Mer-mazing- in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored with Copics.  I also colored up the tube coral and fussy cut the images out.  The coral is from the Fintastic Friends Stamp Set.  The watercolored background panel is from my stash, as is the oval circle.  The mermaid is popped up on dimensional tape and I used some scrap cardstock to bump up the sentiment.  

I love how this turned out and I hope my friend's granddaughter loves it too! 

Thanks for stopping by and have a blessed week!
