Crafty Sentiments Designs Challenge-Anything but a Card

Hello Crafty friends, thanks for stopping by.  Today starts a new challenge over at Crafty Sentiments Designs.  This week's theme is anything but a card.  I decided to alter a pizza box and I used  Isobel-Seashell, she is so adorable.  I am getting into the mermaid mood so this cutie was perfect to color up.

I colored her up using my copics and I decided to cut her out using a stitched circle die.  I used a paper stack that I had in my stash.  I used some distress inks and a wavy stencil to create the water scene.  I layered a scalloped doily behind the image and cut out some bubbles using a die from my stash.  You can't have a mermaid and underwater scene without the seaweed and starfish.  So I die cut some seaweed and starfish out and added them around the image.  I then added some pearls and the sentiment at the top. To add some dimension, I added nuevo clear drops for the bubbles.

Skin: E13, 11, 00, 0000

Hair: E59, 37, 33, 31, 50

Happy Monday friends, hope your weekend was filled with crafty fun.  I am here to share my GDT project for La-La Land Crafts.   This week its all about adding a animal.  I decided to create a standing pop up card.  I saw this on Pintrest and had to try it out.  It is super fun and easy to put together.  

I decided to use Sitting Marci which you can find here for this project.  She is super cute, I just love her.  I colored her up using my copics and cut her out using my brother scan and cut.  I decide to use the doodle bug spring time paper collection for this project.  I wanted to create a tag so I used the pierced scalloped circles and stitched nested circles  and added them to the top of the card.  I used the sentiment from the Sitting Marci stamp set and cut it out using the label die from the stitched elements die set.  I added the flower border at the bottom so Marci could sit on.  Once the card is popped up, you will see a bear in a hot air balloon.  This bear is from one of the club kits that I received this year.   You can find more information on the club kits here.
