Mermaid Hugs

Hi there crafty friends!

How's your weather? It has rained here for the last three days and it looks like it will be raining more for the rest of the week. Perfect for my garden and for staying in and crafting though so it's all ok lol!

Today I created a card for a few challenges in mind using a digi stamp from 2 Cute Ink.

I'm really loving the versatility in digi stamps! I can resize them and have them as big or small as I want. Don't get me wrong, I still love my clear and rubber stamps though and will not be giving those up anytime soon lol! I'm just really enjoying being able to use both kinds :) 

Enough of my rambling. Here is a look at the card that I created today:

I printed out my digi stamp onto some white cardstock and colored in the scene with my Copic markers. Once I had it colored in, I used a die from MFT to cut it out and stamped my greeting in the top left corner.  I created my card base from some blue cardstock and layered some fun patterned paper from Doodlebug on top. I popped up my image layer with some foam tape for a little dimension and added a crochet thread bow along the top. I completed my card with some white doodles on her tail as well as some glossy accents on the bubbles. I love mermaids and am so happy that I was able to get another card completed for Mer-May :) 

The challenges that I will be entering my card into are:

--Digi Choosday Crafting Challenge: Week 20 Anything Goes--

--Through The Craft Room Door: Anything Goes Week 19th May--

--Crafty Gals Corner: #207 For The Ladies--

&

--Addicted To Stamp and More: #390 Photo Inspiration--

Thanks so much for stopping by today and taking a look at my latest creation!

I really appreciate it!

I hope you have a great crafty day!
