A couple of cards

 
 A really quick and easy Christmas card - I simpy stamped the tree and cut it our, before popping it onto te die cut circle.  I added some twine and that was it really!

Supplies
 Colouring medium: SU ink
Papers: SU cardstock
Embellishments: twine from stash
Tools: Cuttlebug, Spellbinders Ironworks motifs

 Challenges:
 Divas by Design - feeling festive
Fab n Funky - die cuts, punches


 I stamped the two mermaids and coloured them with my pens.  As the image is quite big, I kept it all simple, simply adding viva decor pearl pen to the image for bubbles and some flat backed pearlss - no other embellishments!! Shock horror!!

Supplies
Image: Lili of the Valley - little mermaid 1 , little mermaid 2
Sentiment: Craftwork cards
Colouring medium: copics
 Papers: Glitz Vintage Blue
Embellishments: pearls
Tools:

Hi Cathy. Your cards are so cute! Your Merry Christmas card with the die cut tree on the snowflake-ish background is so pretty. Love the layers! Your mermaid card is also really cute and so nicely colorized. Beautiful use of the papers and pearls. Your colorizing of the mermaids is perfect to coordinate with the papers! Thanks for joining us at Simon Says Stamp and Show. <3 Candy
