This cold really knocked the wind out of my sails, so just a few quick cards. Being sick sure can ruin your creative mood!

*ADHESIVE TIP* The new Martha Stewart adhesive ROCKS!! I got the mini permanent rollers and I LOVE them!! They are like 2.5 inches x 1.5 inches x .75 inches. So perfect for smaller hands or kids! Easy to use and refillable!! And, best of all, it's slightly pink so you can see where you're applying!

For the strip behind the mermaid, I embossed cardstock, inked the raised areas, sprayed with glimmer mist, then inked the edges.

Supplies:
The Greeting Farm: Mermaid Anya, Down by the Pond {"Fintastic"}
Cuttlebug embossing folders
Brilliance ink: Platinum Planet
Martha Stewart punch around the page: Scallop 3-dot
Copic Markers
Spica glitter pens

Tattered Angels glimmer mist
