I absolutely cannot believe that I have been a part of this amazingly talented group of women for 12 — TWELVE — bloghops already! It just amazes me every month to see what wonderful projects everyone has put together. And each month I am humbled and inspired by them. So, without further ado, Blog Hop 12: Kids cards! I had a lot of fun with this one. I love making cards for kids. It may be my favorite thing to do. Besides Christmas cards, that is. :)
I started out with my new favorite set: Magical Mermaid. I love her! I colored her using water colors and then gave her shimmer with Wink of Stella.
Next, I used a smoothing technique I found on Splitcoast Stampers to create her underwater background. Added a sentiment, and voila!
I stamped the envelope to coordinate, and this beauty is ready to go in the mail next week to a special little girl!
Please take a look at everyone's wonderful projects!
