Tutti Frutti Under the Sea







I love this little mermaid! She looks to me like she would be in one of those venues where visitors could view her. She seems to be posing for her admirers. I used Certainly Celery green from Stampin Up and 2 other shades of Purple/ Lavender from my stash.



I put a piece of acetate through the cuttlebug and mounted it with dimensionals, so it wasn't laying right on top of her. The lace is from my stash also. It's actually white, but really takes on a lavender hue on the card.



The word "love" is a rub on that I just happened to have laying around and the doodles are done in white Gel Pen.



And of course this beautiful Mermaid is from Michelle Perkett Studio.

    Wow Kathy, I love it! It almost looks like Tutti Frutti is swimming in a beautiful fisk tank. How clever of you to use the acetate and then emboss it!!!
