Mermaid Magic

Well, yesterday did not go to plan...I got up early and did my workout as per usual, and just as I was getting in the shower Ryan ran past me to the toilet and threw up.  So he stayed home from school yesterday and I didn't get anything done, except for making one card while he was mostly parked on the couch watching Ladybug & Cat Noir.  So here's my card for today:

I saw this challenge from Cupcake Inspirations, and it reminded me of some Sweet November stamps that I've had in my stash for *years* so that's where the mermaid and seahorse are from.  They're actually a single (very large) stamp.  So here's the cupcake challenge:

And I loved the colors from Sunday Stamps to go with:

I used Magenta Madness, Starry Sky, Lemon Lolly, and Smoky Slate for my colors.  I would have gone with Berry Burst, but I don't have the Blends in that color yet (they're on the way), so I used the pinker Magenta Madness instead.  I actually had to color the mermaid twice...the first time, I made the starfish in her hair Starry Sky, and they just blended in too much.  The Lemon Lolly starfish look much better.

I CASEd the card layout from Amy Koenders.  I love her card, and that DSP she used is also on its way to me right now : )

Okay, so I really should try to get some things done today.  Wish me luck!
