Under the Sea

 Here we are at Tuesday again with a new fun sketch by Melissa at Tuesday Morning Sketches.

I've switched from Holiday cards to doing some cards for Send A Smile 4 Kids. What little girl does not like mermaids?

Picking up a color from the patterned paper, I used SU's Bubble Bath pink for a card base. The white is embossed with waves that have a blue ink pad lightly rubbed over it to highlight the waves. The patterned design is from SU. I don't have a dome die cut so I started with a large circle and then cut off the sides and bottom. I think it works well. The mermaid is an old unlabeled stamp, colored and fussy cut. The sea shells are in the same set, stamped on tan paper and lightly colored with some pink. The sentiment is also unlabeled and stamped in blue and trimmed down.

If you have a lot of excess of cards and looking for a source for them check out Send a Smile 4 Kids which donates to children's hospitals. Check out their blog for rules and needs.

I hope you have fun with this sketch and will share a creation with us at
