Mermaids and Waterbabies

I enjoyed this month's watery themes so much, I had oodles of fun creating the tags. This week's tag theme of MERMAIDS AND WATERBABIES is the perfect end to a lovely series. I chose an image which I had used before in collages and cards. It is one of my favourite mermaid images - 

I filled the mermaid's shell with jewels found by her in shipwrecks on the ocean floor, rubies, diamonds, aquamarines and saphires as well as many gold and silver coins -

( micro beads and tiny sparklies )


There are more jewels lying on the ocean floor amongst the sea shells, just waiting to be picked up by the mermaids -
 

The image is framed with a small piece of dyed scrim on one side and a tiny bit of silk sari ribbon on the other side -
 

I finished the tag off with a bit of lace, which Kimberly had used to wrap her package of ATCs in ( mermaid swap, see this post ), and a little silver seahorse charm -

Thank you so much for all the comments you left on last week's tag. It really makes my day when I read your kind words.
