The Mermaid and Her Treasures
Summer by the sea shore - imagine the fun a beautiful mermaid would have gathering sea shells and basking in the warm sun - so decadent, so engaging - what a treasure to remind one of fun in the summer!


My fun summer project is a shadowbox created with the following:

*Julie Nutting mermaid stamp - fussy cut and paper pieced
*Mason jars with sea shells from my stamp stash
*Stickles, pearlescents, straws, glitter pen for accents
*Paper cut and formed into a shadowbox in which to insert the mermaid and her treasures
*Buttons to decorate the four corners of the box
*Bow formed from Mama LoveBug's private reserve of LoveBug Creations Rumple Ribbon
*Mama's Mesh in the background for the texture of sand
*Optional - magnet on the back to adhere to a mirror for display






Here's the mermaid and her treasures!  Happy Summer Fun!!



Up next is Angela
