Vintage Seaside Swap

I was invited to join this Vintage Seaside Swap by Sarah from the Gypsy Mermaid.  My wonderful partner is Stevie from My Art Canvas.  You had to make a shadow box and Stevie and I also, decided to swap 4 tags.  Stevie loves pastels, but I kind of went with a more hot pink look.  This was my first shadow box and she really liked how it turn out. 

IMG_0424I used a cigar box and left over material from the shirts I made Gabby.  You can’t really see the glitter in the material.  Stevie loves glitter!

IMG_0428 In the lower corner I added this shell flower that I made into a pin/necklace.

These are the quilled fish I added.

IMG_0429 Here is the back.

IMG_0431 Now the back of this tag was blue???  Now when I went to print out this and the things I used on her tags it turn out pink?  Stevie loves pink….I think sent a fairy to change the color?  lol  It’s strange after I printed what I need to do for her it print blue again?  Here are the tags I made for her:

IMG_0433IMG_0434The tag on the left was blue and green and the tag on the right she had brown hair and blue and green tail?  Stevie, you must have sent a pixie to change my printer!   I sent along the other things that printed out pink for her.

Here is my upcoming class for June and you can see what this mermaid looked like before it was bewitched… lol

IMG_0437 Can you believe this is what I put into the scanner and it turned out pink?  How funny is that.

Stevie is sending her box and when it comes I will share it with you.  Have a great weekend!  Hugz, Z
