MERMAIDS AND WATER BABIES
Hi everyone - sorry I couldn't come out to play last week! I did look at all your wonderful beach find tags though and they were fantastic! My mermaid this week was a free image download from this month's Cloth Paper Scissors magazine - trying to stretch myself to try new things I had a go at creating the whole tag digitally, following their instructions, but I failed miserably! Rather relieved, I went back to my usual inks etc. I embossed the card then sprayed it with Cosmic Shimmer mist in two colours. I collaged the mermaid and made the title, edged it in gold pen then finished off with lace and beads. Will come back and look at all your tags later. A bientot! Carolyn x

ReplyDeleteLove the gold and blue, the gold shimmer mist effect is great. Thanks for reminding me that I bought some ages ago! Jane xx
ReplyDeleteThis has to be a Waterhouse image! His women, mermaids and fairies are so beautiful and make me long to live in the worlds he creates. Your tag certainly deserves his image and is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteWonder if she found the beads in a pirate treasure chest? Great tag!
