This is for Audrie & Polly's terrific button challenge and Marilynn's fun and incredibly messy, mixed media challenge, tie dye tissue.
The buttons that inspired Princess Polly the mermaid are the last sample chosen by Audrie.
I didn't have any tissue paper, but I do have some fabulous sheets of deli paper that the lovely Stacy (JBgreendawn) sent me all the way from America.
I started by lightly spritzing water onto both sides of the deli paper then scrunch it up. On a sheet of aluminium foil spritz some dylusions ink spray and add a few drops of Izinks - blast this with a lot of water. Dab the scrunched up deli paper into the watery puddle, changing direction each time.
At this point I pegged the deli paper on the clothes line to quickly dry - I thought it might melt if I used a heat gun.
Once dry, adhere deli paper to a piece of cardstock that has been completely covered with a glue stick. Once dry cut the panel to the desired size - I decided to make this a tag.
Colour image with distress inks and Inktense water colour pencils, fussy cut and attach to tag. Stick on buttons, doodle, add a few stamps and some net ribbon.
A few lengths of diamentes were added, it doesnt show well in the photo but they were coloured with Copics.
Thank you for looking.

Oh, Susie, only you would think of using buttons and baubles - on your mermaid's top AND bottom!! Love the undersea background with the net ribbon and the strands of gems hanging at the top - Such a beautifully created sea scene - I am totally flabbergasted at the ideas you come up with!!

You are just the queen of creativity. Now I need to go find deli paper and that cool netted ribbon. Your bg is gorgeous, the colors are beautiful, and that mermaid with her button boobies is soooo cute. Amazing card my Ausie friend.
