Let me share with you the card I made.This card is a side step card and I used images from the darling stampette set 477S Serene Mermaid.
I also used some Cypress greenery for the background. I glittered it up to make it look like sparkly seaweed. I glued those small seashells on the front border and added the stamped conch shells to the first step and used a sentiment on the back step.
Here is a close up of the mermaid

Barbara -- ooooooooooo! This is soooo pretty! I especially like the magical looking kelp behind Serena, and the pretty triple conch shell, and then the great "pool" of shells at the bottom - awesome colors - very atypical of ocean cards coloring - these make your card not only pretty, but very unique! Awesome! hugs, de
Such a fun and pretty step card! Love the embellies - The "kelp" really makes it look as if she's really drifting thru the water.
Great card! I love it!
Fabulous side step card. Love the "seaweed".

Wowser Barbara - you never cease to amaze me. The detail with the cypress, the seashells, all of it - just beautiful!
Barbara, The seaweed and shells are the perfect embellishments. I just love how you did the seaweed and now I must try it out. I also must confess that I have never made a side-step card - but it is on my to-do list for next week!
That seaweed is beyond amazing! Beautiful card!
Talk about lifelike seaweed! Is it real cedar? What a great idea! Love the step card design - each element is just gorgeous!

Using the cyprus greenery was a stroke of genious. Adding outside elements enhances a card twofold.
Love the use of nature with the addition of seashells and greenery on this step card that gives it great dimension and such natural beauty.
