I found this great 4 piece wooden jigsaw at the craft show and thought "WOW' how much fun I could have with this. Firstly I scrunched tissue paper and stuck it down on each piece. When they were dry I painted them and the fun was just begining - I hope you enjoy my Puzzle of Time !

This first piece inspired me to continue the 'Time' theme on all four pieces. I stamped on acetate - I found this matt board circle and thought it would make a great watch face. I am always buying clock faces and 'time' phrases - not sure why, maybe cause I am getting older time seems to be going quicker ?? :)
I made this piece using just bits I had lying around and just added the 'Captured in Time' gel sticker to tie into the whole theme - the black mesh stuff is a roll I bought from the cheap shop and use it for lots of household purposes - eg: under my keyboard so it doesn't slide around - it adds a great effect I think.

Christmas Tag Swap - hosted by Jessie
Step 5 - I then attached a piece of ribbon with a 'V' cut out and kept the length so it overhung the tag. Then I cut another piece of green card which was stamped and edged with black Staz-on and stuck that over the top. Final step was in inked all around the edge of the tag with black (yes Staz-on) - and that is how I made my tag - enjoy !

My First Canvas
There is a small social group that I meet with once a month and the challenge for next month was a canvas. I was excited because I had never completed a canvas before and was really looking forward to the challenge. This canvas was painted with metal bronze paint & then rust activator was used. This was a technique that Jessie showed me and I thought it was a good base for this project.
Canvas Stage 2
Complete Canvas
The finished canvas - chip board letters were sprayed with silver & copper krylon spray. Diamontes were added to 'Wish'. The 'Make A' are apoxy stickers. Pre-printed image was glued on top of gauze which was frayed and glued down as well. Then a coat of glue was added over the top of image and a silver corner sticker was used. I was very happy with the final result as I have never completed a canvas before. The colours I used were not what I would normally use, especially silver & copper together but very happy with it.

ALCOHOL INKS
I used Adirondack alcohol inks on felt which I dabbed and twisted all over gloss paper as the background as well as my gold krylon pen. Then I stamped image onto cold or quick laminate with black stazon. Layered it onto black cardstock, edged a piece of bazil card with black stazon, tore some black card for corners and added embellishments. Cut out scrabble letters 'Serendipity' adhered with foam adhesive and put dimensional glaze over the top.

Mother of Pearl Swap
This is a card I did for CC Swaps (Mother of Pearl swap) earlier this year. The background is kaleidacolor Baby Powder brayered, spritzed & dried. Using crumpled cling wrap dab Pearl White Lumieres over the top. Word stamping is done with Silver Pearl embossing powder. Embellishment is Paper Clay pressed into a mould - when dry use pearl Fab-Foils with appropriate glue over the peaks. Silk flower has also been painted with Pearl White Lumieres and using a brad to attach (two sides of the flower have been trimmed flush with the card) & down the side is Magic Mesh.
I have also used fine silver thread wrapped around just below my stamped image.

Using white gloss paper I brayered it with Kaleidacolor inkpad very randomly all over, spritzed with a fine spray of water. Use a heat tool to start drying process - when small pools are left, lift and continue drying to create runs. Blot excess and finish drying. Scrunch up into a really tight ball - carefully - then open it up, slightly flatten and swipe with gold encore metallic inkpad over the peaks. Using a hot, dry iron smooth out wrinkles. I've used the same technique on the Mother Of Pearl Swap, but I didn't crush it up.
