And here are my makes:



My card features Summer Days from Digistamps 4 Joy, coloured with a variety of markers and cut out with a stitched die. I added a little paper tape along the bottom (from Paperchase)
The white card base is matted and layered with LCDesigns papers and the sentiment is from Stampin Up. Finally I added the shell and fish beads.




And an ATC using Scrapndipity's Jewel of the Sea
I used a die from the Tonic ATC Collection to cut the base and then added my image, This was printed over a photographed background that I had made using Distress Oxides. I added colour to the mermaid using a variety of Zig pens including sparkle on the top - not sure if this comes across in the photos...finally I added gems.





Happy hopping!
