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

  4. Hi Carolyn - I love the background technique for your tag. It looks like an ocean of jewel coloured bubbles. Perfect title too for your pretty mermaid.

  18. This 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.
