Created for the May secret sister monthly swap. Susanne challenged us to create a large tag using the large mermaid image! To create the background, I used distress inks direct to an acrylic block, then spritzed with water and smooshed it onto the tag. The image was watercolored using zig pens.

Vickie, I love the background you created on the tag and your mermaid is beautiful. I love all the elements you had around her. This is so creative and artistic!

Great smooshed background and love the net. Nice details with the shells and dimensional add-ons. Mailing will be a challenge but worth the effort.

Fin tastic. I love all the details, the net, the pearls, and the roses take this to the next level. I would love to know if you made the netting or were able to find a small netting somewhere. The netting is an absolutely awesome background. I think you get shabby chic points.
