KennyK Mermaid {Crafts Galore Encore}

Hello, sweet crafting friends!

Here's to Spring (giggle)!

While we have had a mild, unusually wet winter here, with only occasional freezes, the rest of you are ready for Spring. Maybe my blog header will hasten Mother Nature? Our azaleas are about bloomed out, the tulip tree has sprouted with pink magnificence, and the camellias are still prolific. Surely Spring is about to greet us?

On to Card Making!

The March challenge at Crafts Galore Encore is upon us already!

The Rules to the Challenge are so "painless"! (giggle)

Just create your project (using any crafting medium) according to this month's theme with up to 3 entries, and link your blog posts directly to the linky on the CGE Challenge site! That's it!

This month's challenge theme is oh-so-easy! 

"Make a Card".

Our Sponsor this month is KennyK. There will be two challenge winners who get to choose 3 digital stamps of their choice from the KennyK Store! Please see the details for a special discount and contest available to all of the Crafts Galore Encore followers on our challenge blog post this month! 

KennyK stamps are sent as beautiful PNG images. Today I'm featuring "Mermaid".

My little Mermaid has been splashing with the dolphins, enjoying a fantastic day!

I used the aluminum liner on a Planter's Peanut Container to die cut the shells:

Copic Markers provided a little color on the silver aluminum liner.

There are a number of Mermaid quotes on the internet. I've assembled several with a little editing and adding some of my own to make a fun sentiment on the inside!

Some paper layered sea shell die cuts, and a few tiny real sea shells, help set the stage:

Now it's your turn to play! All you need to do is create a card!
