Mermaids


Hello everyone, I hope you are all having a fantastic weekend...not too wet here in the UK, a few heavy showers but no where as bad as they forecast.   

As it has been rather wet in the UK I have had time to start downloading my photo's (sometimes I think going old skool and sending photo's off to be printed is SO much easier....I find it such a bind printing them off myself) which means I can finally blog some new work!

This is a page from my travel journal that I made when I was sat overlooking the sea last week on holiday.  I don't own the Stampotique mermaid stamp so I cut the legs off one of the stamped images I carry round in my travel craft stash and drew a tail on some card, coloured it and added it to the top half of the girl.  I think she turned out OK in the end. 

I added some sequin waste and gold netting to reflect the sea bed when I got home as the glue stick I carry round is not strong enough to stick anything other than light netting and card. I tend to finish a page in one sitting, but as I have no hard or fast rules it doesn't matter (its meant to be fun after all...not a stressful thing!).


So, I hope you all enjoy what is left of the weekend and manage to get some crafting done.


Happy crafting
