Connie-Funky Mermaid

Isn't this the most outrageous mermaid you ever saw??  Talk about a fish with an attitude!  You will find the entire plate HERE
I was playing with a new punch set that reminded me of seashells....
I folded a piece of text paper into quarters and punched my shape, then unfolded and used it as a template for sponging around my mermaid image.  I stamped a Sweet Pea saying on the Prima flower before adding a button and some sparkly fibers.  
Colored with Copics and at the last minute (I could not resist) placed a small rhinestone on her belly button for even more pizazz!!
To tell you the truth, she just looked like a mermaid who would have a body piercing!!
