Color Throwdown-Coral pink, periwinkle blue, Grass green, Sandy Colour-CTD532
Finally! I actually have made 3 other cards but I have not posted them yet plus I tried making ornaments using my alcohol inks which was fun but getting the white paint inside the ornament to make the glass balls opaque was a challenge since I bought think paint. The messy story will appear later on this year once I spray them with a glossy finish.
I had so much fun creating this card and card making makes the bad crap disappear like a fart in the wind (To quote from Shawshank Redemption). I stamped and coloured the mermaid and fussy cut her out. I added the sparkle and used hairspray to set the sparkle so it would not come off on one's fingers. I used my cuddlebug machine to roll the sandy coloured cardstock, in the embossing folder, through, and adhered it to the glitter cardstock and adhered that to the blue cardstock. I took a new diecut and used the sizzex to roll the blue paper, and then the green paper, to cut out the design. So easy and fun! I glued all of it down including the mermaid and then added some gems to complete the look. The little sentiment can be used for anything and almost anyone. I would never give this card to my hubby but that idiot in the ballgown at the Oscars would be happy to get this:)
I hope I can post every week if not more on my card making. Time will tell:) Have a great week!

ReplyDeleteLovely card, Birgit! It's wonderful you have this creative hobby to distract you from the harsh realities of life. Here's hoping you won't have any more bad news for a long time.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card Birgit....loving the mermaid and your embellishments....I think crafting is the best thing to make the world and all it’s stresses disappear....you had me falling off the sofa with your critic of the oscars dresses....I haven’t laughed that much in years ...bless you it cheered me up so much....hugs xxxx
ReplyDeleteHi Birgit - clever ... and the little mermaid is beautiful in her sparkly kelp arena ... cheers Hilary
ReplyDeleteSweet, soft colors. I'm glad you're getting back to making cards, Birgit. I love seeing them, and I'm sure you're enjoying the creative experience.
ReplyDeleteBe well.
Very nice. It's amazing how much crafting helps make other concerns go away for a bit. That's why we create, right?
ReplyDeleteCard looks great, your attention to detail is so precise. You're a Mermaid card creator. Thats got to bring good luck.
ReplyDeleteThe mermaid is great indeed. Getting back to being creative is a win.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful indeed!
ReplyDeleteRealllly fancy, Birgit!
ReplyDeleteWow! Great job Birgit. She is a stunner.

This is absolutely amazing. I am totally impressed with the fussy cutting you did on the mermaid. That must have taken forever. I also like how you corralled the glitter with hair spray. Good call. Lovely card.
ReplyDeleteI'm impressed with your work Birgit.
ReplyDeleteOh my. That is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteLots of fun sparkle and shine in this card! So glad you joined us this week at CTD!
ReplyDeleteThank you everyone! I’m so glad you like my card and I hope to make a lot more now that I’m getting my mojo back
ReplyDeleteThat's very pretty! Just reading about your process of creating it makes me want to work on some of my own craft projects :)
ReplyDeleteBirgit,
ReplyDeleteYour mermaid card is beautiful! You're so creative with your handstamped cards. I envy those such as you who puts this kind of effort into their work. Fabulous job!
I love the mermaid! Such a pretty card.
ReplyDeleteI love all mermaids but this one is especially gorgeous. Thanks so much for joining us this time at the Crafty Craations Challenge, Elizabeth (DT)
ReplyDeleteI love this! I'm a huge fan of anything beach-y. I'm in the process of turning my house on the prairies into a beach house until I get the hell out of here and move to an island.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful work, Birgit.
Hi there, Birgit! Sorry I haven't been around the blog much. I had a difficult 2018 and 2019 is somewhat rocky too! I'm finding it hard to get creative and my craft room is full of memories I'd rather not relive every time I pick up a stamp or die. But... things can only get better right? Enough about me... I am in love with your glittery sparkly blingy card. And you're right - it would be totally wasted on a man! xxx
