Swimming By To Say I Love You Valentine's Day Card

Hello Friends!

I'm back again today with another interactive card featuring the Swimming By Stamp Set from Honey Bee Stamps. Love this little mermaid 😍 

As you know, if you've been following my work I absolutely love creating interactive cards. Although I LOVE clean and simple cards (CAS), I almost never make anything simple, lol!

So her She is...

and what do you think of my background?!

Watch as the mermaid swims all around the card!

Yup, still going! 

As you probably can tell I created the background using Tim Holtz Alcohol inks. Like everyone else, I had been experimenting with them and this background was my favorite, so of course I had to turn it into a card. Since the background reminded me of water, I knew I had to use the Swimming By stamp set. And, since I was using a Mermaid stamp, I thought why not use my Mermaid Markers to color my images in! I really did have fun with this card 😆

To create the spinning part of card, I used a couple of large circle dies. I popped up the center cut out circle with foam tape as well as the outer edge of the card, the inner circle was glued directly to the card base. I then created 2 sliders for the mermaid to attach to, using a smaller circle die and a couple of slider disks. Once they were completely dry I inserted them into the well of the cut out circle channel.  Next, I glued the mermaid to the top of the slider elements. I then added the sentiments to the inside and the top of the card. Finally I embellished the card with lots of bling using a sparkle pen, glitter pen, rhinestones, and glossy accents.

Just look at all the shine, so pretty in when you see it person!

Here is a peek inside the card.
