Don't we all love mermaids? How about baby mermaids? Here's a stunning Sweet Pea image from artist Conie Fong called Flowers on the Beach. Isn't she just adorable? I added a wonderful sentiment from and older set of Sweet Pea stamps "Flowers are the sweetest things God ever made and forgot to put a soul into. "
On this card I am using 2 shades of cardstock and some major punches! When I look at it now, it's almost hard to tell, which cardstock is the base color and which is the secondary. The orange color is the card, it was punch via a large border punch and then a green background color was put behind it, to add the green. Then on top of the card, I used the same green to layer my colored image. The card shows three layers of depth that way. It's a nice way to show some depth with out adding too much bulk (for example if you know you want to mail a card internationally and you know anything sticking out in the envy will get damaged). This type of card allows you to make wonderful layers and give height and make the item perfectly mailable without having to include it in a package. Just an idea!!
Cheers, Holley

love the senti! and that baby mermaid is so cute! your colors are amazing!!
Your right, I can't tell which was the base. I really love that huge punch! The image is cute as can be and I love how it matches the papers you used (or should I say I love how you matched the image colors to go with the papers) either way, it is beautiful. The sentiments are perfect!
Very pretty Holly...it almost looks as if all the little green pieces are cut out and on top, made a very cool look to go with the sweet image :)
Your colouring is gentle so much! Love the papers you used here - all is fine!
Your card is lovely!!!

She's just adorable! Love the papers and you're right, it's hard to tell which is the base and what was punched. That's hard to do! She's colored so beautifully and she's just way too precious.
Hugs,
Susan
