EtsyInspired #97 – Mermaid’s Tears & Denami Design!
Saturday, July 17, 2010 0:01
This week’s shop is Mermaid’s Tears – makers of beautiful handcrafted sea glass jewelry! Sea glass alone is beautiful, but after Bett has finished working with these magical pieces from the sea, they are stunning! Here’s a short excerpt from the shop’s intro:
“The legend of Mermaid’s Tears says that the tears (or sea glass) were created by mermaids who sobbed for the tears of sailor’s lost at sea. As their tears hit the water, they turned to these magical pieces of frosted glass. Lovingly nurtured by the ocean; tossed and churned; pounded by surf and rumbled across pebbles to create an amazing piece of beautiful history.”
One winner will receive a $25 credit to spend in the store!
I went with a fun beach theme for my card. And on Ashley’s suggestion, I also am entering this in the Moxie Fab Fun & Cute Challenge! Thanks for the idea Ash!
Deets: Summer for Fun by The {Stamps} of Life, ribbon, string, clouds (cut from DP) and blue cardstock from the Caffinated Cropper Pocket Full of Sunshine kit. The beach ball is colored with Copics and the surf board is paper pieced with Washi tape from Happy Tape.
And as if that wasn’t enough, our sponsor this week is Denami Design! Super cute rubber stamps, accessories, tutorials, ideas, tips, publications and more! Denami Design is sponsoring a $30 credit to spend in their store to one winner!

Recently after upgrading to GEN D3, I have been faced with an annoying (but not critical) bug were the X and O buttons swap. On the XMB it is normal where X is to confirm and O is to cancel, but as soon as the game launches, they swap and I don’t know why.
