Mermaids and Water Babies

I have chosen Water Babies by Charles Kingsley as my theme for this weeks tag.
I have covered an oblong of cardboard with cream canvas material and added an assortment of lace, ribbons, beads and threads.

The image is a digi collage  download and can be purchased from Nicecrane Designs.

I resized on the computer and then printed out. Adhered to white cardstock and then did a random stiching around the edge. The canvas had been frayed before gluing and the threads were used to weave through the stiching leaving the ends showing. The picture was then glued on top of the lace and a ribbon and button added at the top.Below is a close up of the digi, lace and stitching.

  14. This is such a pretty tag, love the soft cream colours. Clever idea to fray edges and then use the threads, is that what you used for the bow? Love it! Jane xx
