MERMAID..

 Hello everyone,

I have a project to share for the challenge at Gecko Galz using one of my winnings images from last months challenge on Facebook.


After printing this beauty I gathered all my bits that I wanted to use including my onion bag and lots of leftovers..


Added my onion bag first over my mermaid and twisted it near the bottom which gave a nice effect..


My rocks were fun to make..I used a cloud die cut the bottom off to make it flat, screwed it up tightly, unscrewed it then inked it..


Tadaa...rocks!



Sprinkled a bit of sand here and there..


And splattered with gold ink...


Straws cut into sections and inked up and tied with twine to make scrolls...


Opened the venetian blinds a crack and this happened..makes a nice watery effect...


I took my shell and plant embellishments on the right, up the side to make it look taller as there was an empty space..


Added some gulls as she was outside on a rock not under water!!


then shimmered it with my shimmer spray..


And done..

So there we go,thank you so much for stopping by and I will see you tomorrow...

Luv CHRISSYxx
