I have a thing about mermaids. They seem to be very popular in the crafting world these days, and I have collected a wonderful combination of mermaid-themed stamps and dies. I am having a blast with them. For this card, I created a background with DOX inks that was perfect for under the sea. I die cut it with the Memory Box Coral Collage die. Inside the die cut, I placed a gorgeous piece of tissue paper from the Hero Arts May 2017 monthly kit. I used the stencil from the same kit to dry emboss the wave background on the white cardbase. The mermaid tail and sentiment is from Ellen Hutson's Essentails by Ellen Clear Stamps Mermaid's Tail by Julie Ebersole. The tail is heat embossed on heat resistant acetate and die cut. It shows the gorgeous tissue paper behind it. I just love this card.

Such a creative card, Stephanie! Love your DOX ink background ... and that sweet heat embossed mermaid tail. Using the acetate really lets the gorgeous colour of your tissue paper background show through. Thanks for sharing with us at CAS Mix Up!
What a clever and creative card, Stephanie! I love the DOX panel with the dark blue tissue paper and how you've embossed the mermaid tail on acetate so the tissue shines through! Thanks so much for sharing with us at CAS Mix Up!
