Hello Crafty Peeps,
I couldn't resist one more mermaid card to finish off the MerMay Madness!
This time I have made a fun fold that is new to me - the Balcony Front Card. I saw a few while scrolling Pinterest and knew it would be a perfect choice for my last entry into the fun at Sweet November Stamps.
I have combined a few stamps for this card. Digital - 'Nami' & 'Hanalei'. Clear - 'Dock On The Bay' & 'Mermees #3'
I coloured the mermaids in similar colours to make them look like sisters.
I used some nautical/ocean themed die cuts for the top of the card
I made a couple of the fish look like they are jumping by adding them to acetate. The sentiment 'wraps' as a continuous banner across the card front.
The tutorial for this card showed it being folded flat with all the 'balconies' outwards but I found it a bit too bulky that way, so I just flattened from the front. Not that I will be mailing it to anyone... it's one of those cards I just can't give up!
