To create my tag I used a My Bestie Digital Stamp by Sherri Baldy called Lil Ragmuffin Mermaid that you can find here: https://www.etsy.com/listing/126694312/instant-download-digital-digi-stamps-big.

To make my tag first I printed out the digital stamp onto plain white 110 lb. card stock. I then colored this sweet mermaid in with Copics, and then added the highlights with Prismacolor Premier Pencils. After that I fussy cut her, and inked the paper edges with Colorbox Chalk Ink in Ocean Blue.
Next I created the Tag base. First I used Golden Acrylic Paint to add my base colors. I then used a stencil and Gesso to add some extra texture. Once the Gesso dried I then added another layer of Acrylic paint and let it dry. After that I glued various flowers, rhinestones, jewels, feathers, doily's and sequins to my tag base to add extra embellishment and interest. To finish I then attached my mermaid with foam tape, and then added ribbon to the top of my tag.
I hope that you enjoy my project, and are inspired to try out your own mixed media tag. I wish you all a wonderful day! DT Mindy
