So, I am on a quest to make a better effort to use some of the new things I had to have that are piled up waiting... I picked up this Mermaid tail from Ellen Hutson a long time ago when it was first new, and I promptly heat embossed one and colored it and pushed it around on different backgrounds for months ( I kid you not) I had originally thought I would have it hanging out of a teacup die cut. maybe some day but, it hasn't happened as of yet so, when this strands die came out not too long ago. I thought ok this could be waves.. and I cut it and then used a MFT square stitched die to make it a blue window of strands and then layered it to this PTI tag sale quilted die and it all fit... and then I added the sentiments from the EH mermaids tail stamp set and just smiled.
The tail was heat embossed with some ranger verdigris powder and water colored with markers ( which turned out to not have a big contrast with the embossing powder as I would have liked) so, it lost a lot of the definition int he tails's scale pattern. The embossing does sparkle in real life though. This finished out at A2 in real life. thanks for stopping by.
