I love the ocean and I'm a fan of mermaid stamps. If I could wish to come back as something after I die, I think I'd pick a mermaid. This image is from Sherri Baldy and I fell in love with her the minute I saw her. </p><div><br /></div><div>It's the fourth Tuesday of the month, so it's my turn to post here for <a href="https://craft-deebowz.blogspot.com/"><span style="color: #351c75;"><b>Craft-Dee BowZ</b></span></a>. Each week a different team member gets to post a card or project of their choice. So here I am with my card. </div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjilY_P3KrofmdPOoz8lWddqnHcz8U_mkccM3gJEqSaH4XdfCbt6yezzXi3qQ7TsX4_y6qmQSotKqK8DSZ6E8Uut-lHkL7cqQeZdaQuphzF5aHIKUqlYGtVyXcjhBNUbPIpio7la5et2p0/s978/SherriBaldyMermaidWithWatermark.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="964" data-original-width="978" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjilY_P3KrofmdPOoz8lWddqnHcz8U_mkccM3gJEqSaH4XdfCbt6yezzXi3qQ7TsX4_y6qmQSotKqK8DSZ6E8Uut-lHkL7cqQeZdaQuphzF5aHIKUqlYGtVyXcjhBNUbPIpio7la5et2p0/s320/SherriBaldyMermaidWithWatermark.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div>I colored my image with Copics and used clear glitter on the seashells across the bottom and then colored the glitter with my markers.

Today is my day to post a card for <a href="https://craft-deebowz.blogspot.com/"><b><span style="color: #073763;">Craft-Dee BowZ</span></b></a> and I'm using this adorable image from High Hopes called Heidi & Mattie. This card was made for my daughter who has a large dog that is part Irish Wolfhound and the most gentle dog I've ever met. This card is dedicated to Tully Carlo. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcV3aGnF91SqM9TMO9KKvZr2a5QGr1DxtCL1iLmia_fB4mVTyQlwOMtu8jvi2F3fdktXh8_TtejBDnwxjWxvO107DRlb98X0JjRQGCoHgptI67nGl7HkfLv6eisMAaKVCoHW_irHS0YlM/s2048/HighHopesHeidi%2526MattieWithWatermark.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1917" data-original-width="2048" height="478" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcV3aGnF91SqM9TMO9KKvZr2a5QGr1DxtCL1iLmia_fB4mVTyQlwOMtu8jvi2F3fdktXh8_TtejBDnwxjWxvO107DRlb98X0JjRQGCoHgptI67nGl7HkfLv6eisMAaKVCoHW_irHS0YlM/w512-h478/HighHopesHeidi%2526MattieWithWatermark.jpg" width="512" /></a></div><p>I colored my image with Copics and gave Heidi red hair since my daughter, Stephanie, has red hair. Now, I did a little artistic creativeness with Mattie. Although Tully is very dark, almost black, I decided to use grays instead so the details would show. He is getting older now and has quite a bit of gray in his coat, but not as gray as this. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxkY5Uh2ab4j_pOeHwCKKAjSrEi3Sw722Ji-LBdSfPAPZ85Ede0QXZ1ebhkADCl7WHrzE-tGUf8WCId62EkEDlQOM1tzbnh7tzPUqrB5qbl9FqxGiStyW1hLdmqbpgGZNInzo_tA3TrEo/s2048/HighHopesHeidi%2526MattieClose-Up.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1773" height="512" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxkY5Uh2ab4j_pOeHwCKKAjSrEi3Sw722Ji-LBdSfPAPZ85Ede0QXZ1ebhkADCl7WHrzE-tGUf8WCId62EkEDlQOM1tzbnh7tzPUqrB5qbl9FqxGiStyW1hLdmqbpgGZNInzo_tA3TrEo/w443-h512/HighHopesHeidi%2526MattieClose-Up.jpg" width="443" /></a></div><p>Here's a close-up of the image.

I always make double looped and triple looped bows.

Size is not an issue with the <a href="https://craft-deebowz.blogspot.com/p/craft-dee-bowz-bow-making-tool.html"><font color="#990000"><b>bow tool</b> </font></a>and you can make small bows to large bows and single to multi-looped bows. I love adding ribbon and lace to my cards and just a small bow can make such a difference to a creation!

For those who are wondering what ornament die I used, I'm sorry but I didn't make note of it. I used my striped embossing folder for the background, tag stamps by Whimsy, branch die by Tim Holtz, Quikcutz rectangle die and pretty flat back mat finished jewels by Queen & Co. </div>
