Stamp & cut out mermaid tail & top images on Gypsy Soul Laser Cuts Cobblestone Small (to give her tail a scaly effect). Use wet glue to assemble layers together.

Attach action wobble to back center of mermaid to give her the allusion of "swimming"! Assemble images within the frame. Create image layers with double sided foam tape. Turtle images were cut out from G45 Turtle Time - popped out with double sided foam tape & action wobbles (the like to swim also!). Dried moss & seashell themed embellishments were added to create a 'fuller' scenery.
