Hello everyone. Im back and on a roll with this blogging haha. As mentioned in my last post I have the Magical Mermaid set from Stampin' Up! and love it. I wanted to share this card with you. I love the idea of taking an idea and making it you're own. In crafting its called casing. I got part of the idea trolling pinterest one day and the other is from a fellow demonstrator Stampin Fee. I tweeked it a little and love how it turned out. I stamped the wood grain background using the Hardwood background stamp from Stampin' Up!. I used a blending tool to add some background colour to center of the porthole. I love that part of the card. I stamped and fussy but the shells and the anchor and the bolts around the porthole are retired Stampin' Up! but I love the effect.

Check back next time for more from me. Happy crafting!
