I used my Copics to color her in and added Stickles to the flowers and Crystal lacquer to the water. The rectangles and frame were cut with Spellbinders. I inked the edges of all of them. I sprayed adhesive to the frame and sprinkled Martha Stewart clear glitter over it. I cut the front panel of the card in half.......just to be a bit different! I adhered the image and glittered frame to a piece of clear transparency and attached all of it to the "half" panel. I gussied it up a bit with a pretty Papertrey satin bow, button, and a seastar charm. The paper is by My Mind's Eye.
Did I tell you that my class is over tomorrow? (........only like a million times) My project is complete and tomorrow I present it to the teachers and fellow students. What a relief! I will now be able to spend more time doing the things I love.....cards, scrapbooking......! My report cards for my 5th graders are finished, stuffed in their envelopes and ready to go out today. A hectic week to say the least!
This weekend we are planning on chillin' like villians! We have over 10 hours of TV recorded (We lead super exciting lives don't we?), and a bottle of wine in the fridge and phone numbers to some really delicious take out places! ........Can't wait to shake this week off and relax!
What are you doing this weekend my friends? Hope whatever it is, you have a fabulous one!

Fantastic mermaid card, Michele! I love the colors, embellies, and glittery frame you created.
This weekend I have some work and end of the month billing to do. After that's done, I hope to ink up my Mermaids set, do some scrapping, some baking, and relaxing.
Enjoy your weekend!
