A Mermaid's Birthday

Today  I  am sharing a sweet little Mermaid party for a dear friends daughter's birthday party.
Here are some photos of the layered birthday card,  gift tag and the gift bag that I painted for that occasion. I don't  usually get to do creations for little children so, it was great fun. As you know, I  have always adored mermaids, even before it became popular. LOL. I am also sharing a picture of the venue for the darling party too.

Enjoy these mermazing creations,
Gerri

Gecko Galz August Feature Designer

Hello Friends,
Today I am featured over at Gecko Galz as the Designer of the Day. As it is summer time, I am continuing with a seaside theme for you using Gecko Galz products. I adore the variety of images they have to offer, you should check them out. Here are how I made these cards:
I started with a gelli printed card base as a  background and stamped some starfish and sea urchins.  I layered the Gecko Galz image from Summer Seas collage sheet and die cut mermaid tails that was cut out of gelli printed paper. Some glitter, sequin shells with pearls, the sentiments  came next and I was all done.

Enjoy the summer while we can,
Artfully yours,
