I decided to make a zig zag card using the new Mermaid Kisses stamp set. I loved glamming up this pretty mermaid and making the shells.




I used Magic Speckle embossing powder EP175 on the shells. This powder certainly makes them look realistic.




I also used the Magic Speckle embossing powder on the rock that the mermaid is sitting on and I used Fiery Fushia glitter G1004 for her suit.




Here is the card completely open. If you would like to see full instructions on this card you can click here.

I love the zig zag card design. That magic speckle EP is awesome. The texture it creates is so realistic for your shells & rock. And I love the pearls, too. Gorgeous!

April, I am so enjoying seeing what the different DT's are doing with this lovely image. Each of you has interpreted it so very differently but yet each is so unique. I love the glitz you achieved on this beautiful mermaid, and your shells were so glossy - just like the real things. Gotta get some of this product! Loved your Z-fold too, with the teasing little Miss perched at the very top. Great design. TFS & Hugs.

Shirley said...
