[@KimberlyInSoCal310]

OMG that gentle, beautiful pastel ink blending *swoons*! And that mermaid tail *double swoons*! This card is absolutely GORGEOUS. It hits all my favorite buttons - the ocean, pastels in seaglass colors, and mermaids! SO well done, thank you for sharing this video of pure eye candy!

[@KimberlyInSoCal310]

P.S. I RAN - not walked - to MFT to get that stencil the first time I saw you use it and am so happy to say it arrived by FedEx just this morning! I'm positive your videos showcasing it made it sell out! 👍

[@czdesign]

ENJOY!

[@margueritepeaden3445]

I love this card. The “bubbles” were the perfect finishing touch.

[@glendathorne7008]

Just absolutely adorable💙💜💚, not sure if you have ever watched the series, Schitts Creek, but the daughter Alexis Rose, says “boop” all the time and usually touches the person’s nose, hilarious.

[@czdesign]

YESSSS! She is my inspiration!

[@rebeccah.h.8838]

Thank you for providing such a fun tutorial! Boop!

[@cindyroman-daversa9194]

[@jo-annstoneham1813]

Love this cute card and Tim's beautiful colour. You always inspire me and you have taught me so much and I think it's because of your approach to teaching. I could of used you as my teacher back in the 50's when I was in school. I think your card is beautiful; love the colours of the waves and the mermaid's tail. Giving this a try as soon as I get Tim's new colour and the stamp set. 5 out out of 5 stars.

Thank you so so much!

[@ginmcd]

I love everything about this card - the colors - the design - the theme, it was MERMAIZING (and in complete honesty, I really loved the "BLEEP" it was great to see and hear that I'm not the only one that "bleeps" while cardmaking, luckily for me I'm not recording when I do it so it just gets to fly)

[@czdesign]

Oh, I'm a bleeper.

[@czdesign]

So true!

[@nans969]

Geourgious card. I pre ordered the new ink. I'm glad I did. It's a real blue. And the "Boops" make me smile everytime you do that.

[@kays-gee9018]

Can't speak for all purple people, but I am very pleased 💜 thanks for sharing, Cathy. I have a little tip for you: I tap off my brushes in the lid of the inkpad, so I do not "waste" the colour and can use it for very light washes, when I don't want the full strength of the ink on my brush or use the ink in the lid for splatters.

[@czdesign]

Great tip!

[@maggiebrinkley4760]

Cathy, I love how you include 'mistakes' (like with your embossing powder) and then show how to rectify it. What a gorgeous, fun card!

[@4BarbaraJ]

Truly beautiful! I love everything about this card.
