Leah
Here is mine for this week hope you like xxxxx
A plain red background, with an patterned paper covered in red lace. A floral tag as the main image and three small flowers for a little detail.
I have had this shocking pink lace for some time so thought it would be perfect for this challenge, teamed up with a corset, of course, lol.
I eventually found some lace that I had in my hair accessories bag. I made my own lace backing paper and used an image from MCS, mounted it on black card and added a glitzy flower.

For this one I've used paper from crafty individuals for the background and flowers.
Stamped my image in sepia ink. My lace I got in a big box of stuff someone
was throwing out years ago! ohh and I added a wee gem too!

Here is my Mermaid ATC . Used an image and backing paper , also a pice of ribbon some gems and some mirri card .. Hope you like xxxx
Loved making this one!
Began with layer of Cristina Re Luxury Linen Paper
Added clear bubble stickers . Found a mermaid image on clipart ,printed it ,cut out and adhered to ATC. Just sponged the edges with blue .
I used a stamp from the Water Myths and Fantasy set by Non Sequitur, stamped in Versafine Onxy Black. I mounted it onto silver then black card and added Sakura Stardust pen to the tails to give them sparkle and Whisper felt pen to the seaweed fronds.

I have used black card and then mounted a Steampunk Mermaid, the edges have been inked, an image of Steampunk Fish have also been colored with a gold gel pen. To finish off two gold heart gems xx
TONY
The mermaid is done with relief outline on acetate. The background is made with gold and snow sparkle embossing powder with black borders and small glitter dots to serve as magic bubbles!
So heres my mermaid, I got her from google, I coloured her with distress inks, made the inky background, embossed over with a vine stamp and then distressed again, added the flower, gems and sentiment
This is a Sweet pea stamp, painted using Distress Inks. You can't really see the glitter properly in the photo, but she sparkles!!!
Caros
Here is my mermaid ATC. Used some special sticky balls and covered with acrylic paint and left some clear as air bubbles, used blue veluum for background then variagated the shades with my copics, put some treasure tin that the mermaids had got as well
