Sorry I have been away for so long. As some of you know, I have been dealing with an infection in my jaw since February. I am finally having surgery this Thursday, I hope it will resolve the problem.
Today is Challenge #34 at International Art & Soul. The challenge is - Nothing square or oblong. I had my eye on an svg file of a sea shell with a pop up mermaid inside, I wanted to make for my sister for her birthday. This challenge came along at exactly the right time, her birthday is tomorrow!
Here is the outside of the card: Do you see the bow at the bottom of the card? The card ties shut.
Here is the inside pop up:
I want to show you a close up of the mermaid because almost everything is made with glitter paper:
Recipe for this card:
SVG file - Silhouette - Mermaid Splash Pop Up Card
Paper - Bazzill and DCWV Cardstock Stack - Glitzy Glitter
Sentiment - Cardz TV - "Bigger Everyday Sayings"

I am entering this card into the following challenges:

Thank you so much for stopping by! I have been thinking of having a giveaway, if the surgery knocks me out of crafting for awhile, I may give something away, so be sure to check back with me.
Please stop by International Art & Soul to see what my design team sisters have created! Hope you will join in the fun!
