Happy Birthday Little Mermaid

Dimension is the word this week so I've pulled out my pop dots and dies! I've used lots of layers, there are seven different heights on this card from card base to gem and a glitter paste that is very dimensional giving lots of sparkly texture.

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge is celebrating a birthday this month and so are we. Birthday season has officially started with the old new year!
I've distressed both backgrounds with Cracked Pistachio, Salty Ocean and Chipped Sapphire. I love this mix of colours especially with a misting of iridescent Glimmer mist. The upper background and happy diecut was created with the smooching technique and the lower one using emboss resist with a distress inking tool. I found the glitter paste while browsing my local-ish online store and it jumped into my cart & arrived the next day- I'm so glad. I love all the glittery dimension it gives.
