MOJO451 'WE'RE MERMAID FOR EACH OTHER" card using Lawn Fawn Mermaid For You stamps/dies

Happy Thursday Everyone!! I have a TupeloDesignsLLC ~ TDLLC (using that link earns me points and you 10% off your first order ~ thank you)  Design Team card project for you today.  I used some stamps and dies from a new Lawn Fawn set called Mermaid For You.  The images and sentiments are absolutely adorable.  The heart is from the Lawn Fawn set called Party Animal.  I used some Copic Markers to color up the images.

I haven't felt too good the last few days. Dealing with an off and on tummy ache ~ which always seems to hurt when I need to be getting something done.  I have a crazy rash of bumps on my arms, wrist and some on my legs, that I have no idea what they are.  I had a doctor look at the today and they recommended putting some hydrocortisone on them.  We are attending a Military Ball tomorrow night so I'll look really suave with my bumpy arms..  haha!    Anyways ~ after tearing through stuff in the garage tonight looking for what I needed to make my card, feeling frustrated because I didn't feel well..  my husband says to me "I'm really proud of you keeping up with your Design Team cards with all that's been going on"..  made me feel like a million dollars..  well, maybe a 50!  haha, but it did make me feel good that's for sure.  After posting this I am taking two Benadryl and applying some cream and heading straight to bed. Hopefully they'll disappear overnight.  ~ hugs!

Back to my card................ After I stamped and colored up all the images, I lined up the dies and used some Post-It tape to keep the in place when I ran the through my BigShot machine.  These dies are soooooo easy to line up and they cut like butter!

After die cutting everything I started putting the card together. I layered the white banner with one I cut in black to help it show up more.   I stamped the sentiment onto the banner by cutting it apart between the word "mermaid" and "for" ~ it's really easy to line them back up if you needed to after cutting the apart.

Here's my happy couple!   I noticed the mark on the boy's hair after I put the card together. My cutters that I use to trim apart dies is buried somewhere in the garage. I think one of the pieces on the die must've poked in the paper ~ when the rest of my stuff is unpacked, I'll trim up the dies and get them stored on a piece of magnet.

 I used this week's MoJo Monday Sketch:  SKETCH #451
I flipped the sketch around for my card.

I wanted to share my messy mess that I made while I set out to make this card.  I'll be SO happy when I get a chance to get my stamp room unpacked and I can make cards in there instead of digging in tubs out in the garage..  haha!  hugs~ Pam
