MERMAIDS AND WATER BABIES

WOW!!
 The Rock-pools and beach finds last week were Fantastic!!
Thank you Carolyn for prompting the most fabulous themes
-oOo-
 Oh, I do LOVE a mermaid theme....
For my tag this week...
I decided to alter another one of my mini cabinet cards..
...with lace, trims, shells, beads, crown, wings, heart button....
...and the mermaids tail is created from snippets of lace, which I've painted the edges with gold paint to define the scales...
Then I added a little chain of shell discs, gems , beads and charms as a finishing touch.

Can't wait to see all your enchanting mermaids and water babies.

Thanks for peeking!
