Althea with fish

I bought my own birthday present of these new Lavinia stamps. And when the technician was working on my internet I was making these cards so at least I was productive. I feel my hair has gotten this long since I couldn't get a hair for so long with the Co-vid restrictions. Now for fun, I also added some purple coloring to my hair so I am having to much fun overall with ink, lol. I made one card with sequins and one without.

Make a wish upon a starfish

I've had this image colored for a long time and in my stash, and finally put this card together.  The image is from 2 Cute Ink and the sentiment is from TLC, Create.  I dry embossed a piece of velum.  For the star I distressed inked a piece of kraft paper so to get some variations in the colors.

One last card for the Bugaboo Birthday Bash and down to the wire.  For this card I used a mermaid image and a die cut sentiment.  I put Glossy Accents on the water bubbles of the image.  It was a fun card.  Glad to have made all the cards for the week.
