Mermaid Kisses and Birthday Wishes

Yes, I'm a little late for the challenge this week,
sending apologies to Julie and the Penny's Design Team.

It's time for a new challenge with us on the

Penny's Paper-Crafty Challenge Blog

Penny's Challenge 466

As always, the challenge is Anything Goes.

The sponsor for this challenge is:

MoonFlower Digital Stamps

Today I have used the Lilly Mermaid digital stamp from MoonFlower Digital Stamps, our generous sponsor for this challenge, to make a birthday card.



I opened the Lilly Mermaid digital stamp in Silhouette Studio along with a rope frame (cut file details & links below) and sized them to fit on a 6 1/4" square card.  The image is 4" tall.  I printed the image on X-Press It blending card, heat set and coloured with Copic markers, adding some sand to the bottom of the image and pale blue to the background.  I used white gel pen to add some dimension to the pearls in the image and give the white some extra pop.  I cut the rope frame and trimmed the image panel to fit behind it, adhering the layers together with liquid adhesive.  I trimmed to matting panels to size and layered them together, securing with liquid adhesive.  Lucky last came a cluster of paper flowers and strands of pearls, all adhered in place with liquid adhesive.
