My Little Girl is 5!

My youngest daughter turned five today, where did the years go?  I made this card for her.  She has been going on about mermaids for a while, so I thought she would like this image - Ariel Littlest Mermaid by Yampuff.  She has her images on Deviant Art and you can download many for free!

I did a little bit of experimenting with the colouring this time, so I'm not 100% happy with it.  However, I am really happy with the layout and colours I have used for that.  Thanks for stopping by to have a look.


I am entering this card in the following challenges:
Digi Stamps for Joy - Birthdays are fun
Card Makin Mamas - Birthdays
Celebrate the Occasion - Girls birthday (must use pink)
Crafty Catz Weekly Challenge - Dies and punches
Die Cutting Divas - Bingo (gems, 3 patterned papers, stitching)

    Marvelous coloring - her hair is fantastic. The water background has nice depth. And your papers and embellies highlight the image perfectly. Thanks for sharing with 613 Avenue Create.

    Fantastic coloring of her hair and the water background adds great depth to the image. Your embellies and papers highlight the sweet mermaid well. Thanks for playing along with us at 613 Avenue Create.
