hello dear tag friends, i hope your summer (or winter) is coming along nicely. although i do have a summer beach vacation coming up it is still a couple months away. so for now i can only dream...
this is a tiny tag, measuring about 1x2 inches. i spritzed the tag base with water color inks from stamp zia (a company which sadly seems to have gone out of business) in blue topaz and emerald green. I stamped the mermaid first, a stamp by "good stamps stamp goods) and then masked the mermaid (watch out i'm getting fancy...). next i stamped the waves (meer image stamps) and the bubbles (G-rated stamps). final step was adding this lovely black ribbon.
i love mermaids! happy week and love to all.
Gorgeous tag and I love the stamps you used! Hugs, Valerie

ReplyDeleteHi Michele
ReplyDeleteThis may be a tiny tag but as the saying goes "good things often come in small packages" .Love your detail in the creation of this under water scenario. What a fabulous mermaid.
