Mermaid Wall Hanging ~ with Cyndy G

Hello today I am sharing a project I made using files from My Scrap Chick and Graphic 45 - Voyage Beneath the Sea paper collection.  I used the Anchor from the Anchor - 3 Designs file.  I made a blackout shadow of the anchor and then enlarged it to the size my cutting mat.

 I cut three layers of the shadow and used Mod Podge on each layer, then used Modge Podge to glue together to make them sturdy.  For the rope I used an orange piece of twine.

I did a lot of fussy cutting and inked all the edges.  I added dimension to the mermaid by cutting multiple layers of the same image and using foam tape.

 I used foam tape to create layers in the coral as well.  This was such a fun project to put together.  
Thank you for stopping by - hope you have a wonderful weekend.

Under the Sea ~ with Cyndy G

Today I am sharing a project from My Scrap Chick.  I used Under the Sea and Box in a Card - Square files.  The Under the Sea files are set up to be used for a scrapbook page but I thought they would make a great Box card!

The paper I used is Doodlebug - Under the sea.  Very fitting :)

To size the pieces I put everything on my mat (box card and mermaid files) and then scale the files down until they fit in the box card.  I sized my mermaid a little too big so I attached her a little lower in the box.  I would have liked her to be small enough that the seaweed and fish behind her were more visible.

Box cards are definitely my favorite type of card to make!  Thank you for stopping by today.
