Deco Foil Rainbow Mermaid Birthday Card with Unity Adhesive Transfers

I started by heating my laminator so I could work on my sentiment. I carefully cut out “happy” and “birthday” from the adhesive transfer sheet. I firmly applied them to white cardstock and ran it through the heated laminator in a carrier sheet. When it came out, I applied a piece of Mystic Rainbow Deco Foil, color side up and ran it through the laminator in a carrier sheet again. I peeled back the foil to reveal the colorfully foiled happy sentiment! I proceeded to fussy cut the sentiments.

I set aside the sentiment and started on my mermaid. I die-cut the mermaid out of a Deco Foil Toner Sheet, along with her pearl crown and shell. I separated all the pieces and set them on a carrier sheet. I put different color foils over the different pieces and ran them through the laminator. I love the rose gold outline!

To finish up the mermaid, I added a little sparkle to her pearl crown. With the mermaid finished, I moved on to the background. I die-cut a wave background and ink blended with 3 different color distress oxides.

I decided to add some light rays to the background. I used Pixie Spray to the stencil to keep it in place while I blended in some white ink.
