Hello!
Happy Weekend!
Thank you for Peeking in for Today’s Card!
Today’s Card is for a Color Challenge from
Hand Stamped Sentiments #296
HSS296
Here is the Challenge!
Here is my Card!
I did use Ivory and Soft Sea Foam for her ‘skin’ and the shell she is holding!
Perusing Amazon for ‘Animal Stamps’…I feel upon this Stamp Set!
I am not a Mermaid person…but, I found out this past Spring, my
friend Joan, up in MA, loves Mermaids! So I had to get one!
It was only $.99!!! Shipping was $3…just my price!
So Cute!
Here is the inside of my Card!
It was hard to stick to just the 3 colors but, I did it!
Though I did use the 2 other colors on the front.
Just a smidge!

I am starting to envision another card with this already!
It will involve a lot of fussy cutting with the mermaid…such is the cost,
when it’s a labor of Love!
Loving labors and Blessings to you ALL!
Wow! Such a nice card for your friend. Love the simple layout and the mermaid with shell image is so unique and so fitting for your card. What a wonderful take on color challenge. Thanks for playing at Hand Stamped Sentiments.
Thanks Genevieve! My friend Joan will go gaga over this! The only improvement I can do for Joan…make her fins the colors of Lily Pulitzer! She loves Lily!
I’m not really a mermaid person either but have recently come to love them after coloring a couple and playing around with them. You really scored a great deal with your mermaid, which makes it even better! Thanks for sharing your card with us at Hand Stamped Sentiments!
Thank you Jenny!
