Cute Mermaid Birthday Card - Stamp N Hop Blog Hop

Hi Everyone,

Today I am hopping with the Stamp N Hop group and the theme is 'Colouring'. I don't often colour images because I don't think I'm very good at it but I thought I would have a go with this pretty little mermaid and the Happiest of Birthdays.

Materials

1 piece of thick basic white card 5 7/8" x 8 1/4"

Scraps of melon mambo, gold foil and basic white for stamping, mats and decoration

Melon Mambo ink

Stitched Rectangle dies

Stampin' Cut and Emboss machine

Happiest of Birthdays stamp set

Pirates and Mermaids stamp set

Penguin Place stamp set

Starlit Punch

Melon mambo Stampin' Blends

Fresh Freesia Stampin' Blends

Granny Apple Green Stampin' Blends

Crumb Cale Stampin' Blends

Multipurpose adhesive

Dimensionals

Trimmer

Bone Folder

Simply Scored

Instructions

On the long side, score the thick white card at 4 1/8" and fold and burnish to make the card base.

Die cut one rectangle in melon mambo and one in basic white (approx 3 1/2" and 4" long). Stamp the mermaid on the white rectangle and colour in with Stampin' Blends then adhere to the pink rectangle.

Stamp the large sentiment from the Happiest of Birthdays on the right hand side of the card front and the sentiment from the Pirates and Mermaids on the inside. I've also stamped the snowflakes from Penguin Place to look like stars (see picture).

Fix the stamped image to the left hand side of the card front.

Punch out some stars from the gold foil and scatter them all over the card front, the larger ones are on dimensionals, the small ones are glued.

I hope that you like my simple card and will give it a try. Please pop over and see what my colleagues have made by clicking on the links below.
