Day 1 LLC Carmel Workshop - Mermaid Tag

This is the 2nd project from the Carmel Workshop held in June 2018.  Tag was designed by Mindy Beverly (her blog here).  All stamps and papers were supplied at the workshop. Imaged used is Sitting Mermaid Marci which can be purchased on the La-la Land Crafts on line store found here. Original design used Sitting Baby Mermaid Marci. Both stamps worked well for this tag.  Tag itself measures 4-1/4" X 7". The larger tag mat is created using Salty Ocean, Peacock Feathers, and Chipped Sapphire ink. Splatter with some water. Stamp the fishes using Chipped Sapphire ink. The Heart Anchor is die cut in chipboard, then heat embossed using silver powder. Finish the tag with some cheer ribbon and a shell embellishment through the Stitched Tags re-enforced hole.
