Mer-May 2025 Day 20 | Last Day of Series

Today is Day 20 of my Mer-May 2025 series and also the last day of my series. I have tried to keep up but I have lots of things due this week for design teams and I was feeling very anxious, so I decided to end the series to take some of the pressure off myself. I am very happy I made it 20 days! I still might do a few more mermaid cards this month but not daily!

For today's card I used some little merwees that I found colored up. I put them on a slimline card so I could use them all.  You can watch today's video HERE!!

Have a wonderful day!! Go do something for yourself and go get crafty!!

Mer-May 2025 Day 3 | Salty But Sweet

It's Day 3 of my Mer-May 2025 series!! You can watch today's video HERE!!

I found all the mermaids and most of their sea critter friends colored up from the Sweet November Stamps Salty but Sweet stamp set so I decided to use them. I may have gone a little overboard but I wanted them all on the card. LOL!

Since I knew that the front of the card would be filled with stamped images I wanted to keep it simple so I ink blended some SU Tempting Turquoise ink and then stenciled the Kraftin' Kimmie Whimsical Winds over the ink blended background in SU Pacific Point ink.

One of the mermaids didn't really stand out so I decided to add a vellum piece to mute the background a bit. I really like the end result!

I added the sentiment to the inside since there wasn't room on the front.

Have a great day!! Go do something for yourself and go get crafty!
