Gecko Galz July Customer Challenge - In a Mermaid's Garden

Hello, my friends!

Welcome back to a brand new Customer Challenge at Gecko Galz.

The July Challenge is:

In a Mermaid's Garden!

I made a tag for the Challenge this month. 

I created the tag base from an aqua green cardstock.

Then I used a Gecko Galz paper from the Marble Halls Paper Pack.

I cut it slightly smaller than the tag base.

I punched across the bottom with a decorative punch. 

I ink and tool distressed all the edges and adhered them together. 

 Then I adhered a piece of cheesecloth to the center of the tag.

Once it was in place, I sprayed the whole thing with Glimmer Mist. 

Once it was dry, I adhered the colored image, 

and all the pretty rhinestones.

I also added some sea-weedy fibers to the tag top.

Here's a closer look at the sweet mermaid image. 

This image is from the Sunny Summer Digital Stamp Set.

I colored it with my markers, added some Stickles,

and adhered it in place with foam tape.
