Mermaid

 Hi Everyone, my card today is for my Great Great Niece Dorothy, who is 4 years old and such a little lady, that I had to make something feminine for her. 

I had a cut file from Lori Whitlock that I used as a pattern for the pop up card. I then went looking for paper and images to use. Luckily I have lots to choose from!

All are print and cut with extra layers on my digital die cutting machine. I had so much fun designing this for Dorothy. I started with looking for a mermaid and found a paper with lots on. I chose one and copied it from the paper in Photoshop. However I also had a digital stamp I thought I could use, indecision had me cut both out, but I chose the already coloured image. Call me lazy?

I added all the images to the pattern pieces.  After it was completed I used lots of glitter and sparkle, I thought she would like that. Shame you can't see how sparkly it is. I used fuchsia pink mirror card for the coral pieces, sentiment and age and silver for the shadow behind the sentiment and her age.

This is the layout of my images, I wasn't sure which mermaid to use, so I printed both and decided on the already coloured image. the digital image is by Paper Nest Dolls
