Handmade Mermaid Meeya Birthday Card

Click on picture to enlarge

A is a summer birthday card that I made this week. 

The base is a blank kraft cardstock card (Recollections)that measures 5" by 6 1/2". I bought several packages of these blank cards at Michaels during an after-Christmas clearance sale. There is a narrow red-striped edge around the border of the card.

I chose the digital stamp/sentiment "Meeya" from Mo's Digital Pencil to feature on the card. I used Microsoft Word to resize the image and merge the sentiment with the image. I printed the image on white cardstock and colored it with Copic Sketch markers. Please see the video below to see my coloring process.

I used a Spellbinders die to cut out the colored image/sentiment and attached it to the ocean digital paper designed by Mo Manning. I used a paper punch to make the waves along the top of the ocean patterned paper. I attached this to a piece of teal cardstock and then used double-sided tape to attach the card front to the blank card.

I will enter this card in the following challenge;

Handmade Make a Wish Birthday Card

Click on the image to enlarge it.

As dandelions turn to seed, children everywhere rush to pick them, so they can close their eyes, make a wish, and blow seeds into the air.

This is how I made the card;

I started with a blank kraft card that measures 5" by 6.5".

The red background paper is from The Paper Studio Watercolor Rainbow paper pad (Hobby Lobby). I used a paper punch to punch a scalloped edge along the top of the paper.

I chose the digital stamp "Make a Wish" from Mo's Digital Pencil. I printed the image on white cardstock and colored it with Copic Sketch markers. I used Pebbles chalks to add the blue background. I chose the sentiment sticker "make a wish" from the "Tim Holtz Small Talk Occasions" pack.

I cut out the image with a pierced circle die and then cut a black pierced circle a little larger. I attached the circles to the card with double-sided tape.

I used the Spellbinders dies "Romantic Vines" to cut the leaves and added a Prima flower with a faux pearl center.

I finished the card with a piece of red/white baker's twine.
