Hope your day is going swimmingly! *wink*
All the images for this design were heat embossed with clear embossing powder over black pigment ink (my favorite method for avoiding stray embossing speckles) onto watercolor paper and then colored with the Gansai Tambi watercolors.
This is a super simple window card; the opening is 2" in diameter, so if you have a punch that size, you could use that instead of a die.
Die cut the window, and stamp the inside of the card to peek through; die cut the mermaid and shells and pop those onto the card base with foam tape.
Accent with Stickles Glitter Glues and make some 3D glittery bubbles with the NUVO glitter drops (that stuff rocks!!!)
The end.
Totally random tidbit: My Gram turns 100 this weekend. How crazy cool is that???!!! If my 5 yr. old granddaughter will hold still (kid moves at the speed of light, I tell ya'!), we're goin' for a 5 generation photo!
