Hi bloggers! I started my mermaid card by using the
Double Stitched Circles and cutting two apertures into a piece of coconut white card in opposite corners. I added mounting foam to the back to raise it. Next I used the
Ocean Waves layering die to make backgrounds behind the aperture openings. I used
Aqua, Ocean and White card glittered with
Frosted Sparkle Glitterbitz for the three layers and attached them behind the openings. Next I used the two mermaids from the
Mermaid Kisses die set and cut them both in milk card and Ocean card. I used ink to colour their hair and add some warmth to their skin tone, then cut away the body on the ocean card die cuts and glued them over the mermaid cut in milk card. I added each of them to the apertures with foam. I cut a few of the fish, seaweed and seahorse to add in with them in the apertures. I cut the sentiment in
Ocean card and glued it to the card between them. Below there, I added more seaweed cut out of various shades of green card, along with a sea turtle and seashells. I added a similar scene with a sea turtle, seaweed and some fish to the area to the left of the top aperture. The card was completed with simple white mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 7" x 8 1/2" in size. All for now. Sue x

Hello Sue, there is no other word to describe this card but awesome. Love it, and the die set is on my wish list. Have a good day everyone. Bx
Hiya Sue. You must be the only craft blogger that knows how to raise a smile at 6.20am (U.K.) this is sooo cute it's no wonder at all that you couldn't stop making samples with her and her underwater friends, you light our faces up but your face was equally lit up when you snatched an hour on HOCHY we could tell just how much you love her and enjoyed bringing her to life. It really is a beautiful sample made with lots of wonderful colour and lots of love.
Have a really lovely day whatever your upto and hope your new day starts with a smile. Hugs xxx
Morning Sue.

Take care and have fun Kitty.

Hi Sue
Your mermaid really is beautiful. I fell in love with her when I first saw her. When you did your HOCHANDA show it was a joy to watch as you brought her to life. What a fabulous card.
And there in the background is the amazing Ocean Waves layering die. The layering dies are my preferred gift of choice for Mother’s Day. Don’t think I have ever hinted quite so much. If the message has not got through then there really is no hope!
Happy Wednesday everyone

Hi Sue
Great fun card with the mermaids, love the ocean waves background and I had to get some of the ocean card to go with my aqua after watching you demonstrating with it
Love and hugs to everyone

This card is so cute!
Love the scene you have designed with all the wonderful dies, and the wavy background is great :))
Hi Sue, a very cute card. So much intricate detail with the mermaids, fish, seahorse, seaweed and the adorable turtles. A great sentiment too.
Hi Sue, I love your mermaid scene cards but I really like the turtle, fish, seaweed and my particular favourite the tiny seahorse. Much as I love them I have no-one to make this style of card for so will just have to enjoy looking at yours :-)
Frances
Such a lovely card Sue.
Love all the tiny details.
Good Morning Sue. Super c a rd today. Sue. Unfortunately all my female relations i.e. my nieces and granddaughters are too old for these beautiful little ladies. But I am sure they would be a brilliant standby. Gorgeous card Sue and exceptional work. Thankyou. Sending hugs and best wishes to everyone. Kind regards Ann Toppcards Leeds.
So pretty, actually making up a picture that could be framed...luv URsula xx
