Secret Garden Thank You Card

Hi Stampers! Today I have a card I made using a sketch from Case This Sketch.

I absolutely love this sketch. When I saw it, I headed straight to my craft room (or secret layer as my puts it). Here is what I created...

I have a lot of retired card stock in my stash and I decided to bring them out to create this card. The colors I used are Night of Navy (retired), Pretty in Pink (retired), and Old Olive. I used the Secret Garden stamp set and dies for the image. The sentiment is from my personal stamp stash.

I absolutely love how this turned out that I made two cards.

For my card, I used the mermaid image along with the By The Tide stamp set from Stampin' Up!. This card uses two techniques: water gel card and smooshing background. I used my prismcolor markers to color in my image. I love how this card turned out.
