Mermaid Birthday Card for Case This Sketch

A special young lady who wishes she could be a Mermaid has a birthday today.  I found this lovely image on the "Life is a Beach" cricut cartridge and colored it with Shin Han Touch Alcohol Markers. The sentiment is from the Close To My Heart Flower Market Cricut Collection.  The shimmery rock edge that the Mermaid sits on was created with Nuvo Embellishment Mousse.
