Birthday Mermaid

 Nice break in the weather today so I'm going to spend some time in the kitchen!  I make cannabis infused products and one of my most popular is the pain salve/ointment that I make. I have elderly patients who swear they've stopped getting cortisone injections because of my magic potion! It's also my favorite thing to make - I mean, who wouldn't love taking people's pain away? So that's the plan for today. My husband and I run a cannabis competition and trade show in Worcester, MA at the DCU Center - this year will be our 9th year! If you are local or interested in checking it out, our site is www.theharvestcup.org   It's always Veteran's Day weekend and we have a ton of fun!

On to the art - I'd like to enter the card below into the following challenges:

Cut it Up #335 - Monochromatic

Passion for Markers #799 - Die Cuts and/or Punches

Simon Says Stamp Monday - Summertime Blues

Pink & Main - Ocean

Inkspirational - Word Prompt: Birthday



I created my background by applying texture paste that I had tinted with Lindy's Magicals through a mermaid scale stencil with a light hand. I stamped the cute mermaid from Pink & Main with Versafine Black and embossed with clear embossing powder, then colored her with Copics. I used a stitched edge rectangle die cut to cut her out and layered on a postage stamp frame die cut. I added a sand dollar die cut with foam dimensional tape and attached the die cut sentiment (Mama Elephant). Peace.
