I then I heat Embossed Holographic Embossing Powder
(Papermania)
using Watermark Ink 
(Versamark)
on to the Fishes, the Seahorse and the Mermaids Lips
(though it is a bit hard to see on the pictures)

For the Embellishments I used some Pearlised Purple Card,
Glitter Light Blue Card, Glitter Turquoise Card and
Metallic Gold Card
(all pieces from my Scrap Box)
and cut them out on my Brother Scan and Cut using
a Tattered Lace for Scan N Cut USB
(No. 2 A Little Bit of Everything)
I used the Kensington Boarder on the Purple Card,
and the Fish from the Fishing  Embellishment on the Glitter Cards
(rotating one to face the other way)
For the Sentiment I used the Gold Card 
though I am not sure where the Cut File came from.

 

I handmade the Bow using 1cm Purple/Silver Ribbon
(Boyes Haberdashery)

Finally I added 2mm Seed Pearls

(stash)
to the Bangle on the Mermaids Arm.
And then added the rest to the visible Embossed Dots
on the Base Card.
