Sorry, no hula dancers, shirts, leis, or kittens. Layered image paper onto card base, having stamped and colored light house only to find --LOL-- was crooked when stamped so cut out and glued down--was to be part of card but after coloring said not redoing. Mermaid was sent to me by a friend, water colored and used markers and stickles. made water with new stamp just for this purpose and got at convention--first time using it. Made sandy beach, stamped shells and the old saying writings in the sand came to mind and so stamped Happy Birthday in the sand. Used stickles here and there.

Wow DonnaJeanne your scene is fantastic. I thought the water was a photo until I read your comments. Everything looks terrific and I especially love the message written in the sand. Wonderful card for the birthday girl.

A lovely, lovely card, DonnaJeanne! Cute little mermaid in her clam shell chair. Nice job!

You have put a lot of time into making this card, Donnajeanne!! Your mermaid image is so lovely and this is a great new water stamp, too! Love the lighthouse, so well coloured, and your sand looks terrific!
