Have An Awesome Brithday


I made this card for a DT friend who has been so welcoming, friendly, kind, and generous to me as I began a new DT gig and beyond. I heat embossed this awesome mermaid's tail in silver, and colored it with Copics. I placed it on a background that I made with Distress Oxide Inks and plastic wrap, sprayed it with shimmer spray and die cut it with a scalloped rectangle die. 
I adhered a seaweed die cut and the tail, added the sentiment banner, and voila! The background came out beautifully. It looks to me like what you would see under water when the sun is shining above. I love this one!
