  Hi Rammy's, today I'm sharing a mini slimline card with the adorable Fairy Party stamp.  Copics used E04, E11, E21, E00, E000 R85, R83, R81 100, C7, C5 BV08, BV04, BV02 E51, E53, E55 E40, E42, E43, E44 E30, E23, E25 YR24, Y17, Y08, Y11 W2 + Colorless blender YG09, YG05, YG01 G46, G43, YG61 RV34 flower garland YG41 wings  BG10 background  The happy birthday sentiment is from Poppystamps Happy birthday stitched tag and I layered lots of embossing powder on there.  I first heat embossed 2 layers of WOW! white, then 1 layer of WOW! Metalline Red, next 1 layer of WOW! Pink Fizz and finally 1 layer of Recollections Vintage Pink.  It didn't need sequins and gems in my opinion, but my printer made a boo-boo and I needed to cover that.  *Ad / reklame* Since I'm on the design team.  Thanks so much for stopping by! Happy crafting.  Tina X 

My niece is turning 5 and she is slowly transitioning from wanting everything Unicorn to everything Mermaid.  So I came up with this cute scene with a Krista Leigh Smith Mermaid (Swim break) and a couple of My favorite things unicorns (Friendly unicorns) and some Sweet November stamps greens for added depth (Mermaid lagoon background builder). All copic colored.  I popped up the panel for a little dimension and added a double cut circle (MFT Pierced circle stax). Largest circle and 5 (Mama elephant) cut from some Tonic mirror card, Petal pink. Birthday girl from Concord and 9th Hooray. 

This weeks challenge at Waffle Flower challenges us to use tiny stamps. Good thing I finally found my Tumble On set. You see, I bought the set back when it was released and made THIS card for my daughter quite ahead of time (which is really unlike me 😆). And since I didn't want to spoil the surprise with these new cute stamps, I hid them. It was one of those "she'll never find it there"-places. The only problem was I forgot ALL about having hid the stamps and when I needed them I couldn't remember where I'd put it. I've since searched for it now and again, always giving up. This time I was a little bit more persistent and I finally found it - YAY!! I'm sure you can understand my joy and why I wanted to color lots of tiny gymnasts. OK, now onto this card 😉 I first colored all my tiny gals and dudes, as always with my Copic markers. Copics used: E57, E35, E34 / E23, E34, E31, E30 / E11, E21, E00 100, E29, E23 / E79, E77, E74 / E44, E43, E42 / E55, E53...
