Challenge #8 Faded Layers

Well hello again, can you believe we are half way through August already and Skye starts back school on Monday (shocked look on my face).  I have loved her being home from school and she has had a fabulous time over the Summer Holidays.  I didn't here the "I'm Bored" war cry in which I have heard over the years.  I think the good weather had played its part here (smiley face).

I cannot believe this is almost the 18th week of the Tim Holtz Compendium of Curiosites challenge III.  This is challenge number 8 and this is sponsored by www.thefunkiejunkie.com and they are offering a prize of $25 to the winner, it is always worth entering.

Here is my entry...

I love this technique, you can see the faded layers of wood grain underneath the postcard and compass.  I went for a little travel theme as you will see with my little box.

You can see the faded layers on each side of the box in the close ups.

I will be back real soon with some more.

Thanks for stopping by

Love Denise xx

Challenge # 7 Painted Industrial

Hello again

Thanks for joining me again, sorry it's been a while but I have had a few appointments to attend and that has kept me quite busy over the last two weeks.

Challenge # 7 has been loads of fun I thoroughly enjoyed the Painted Industrial technique.  It is the first time I have used the foil and it certainly won't be the last.  It is a fabulous technique that I can use over and over.

I used the Tim Holtz Lantern Bigz Die to create the little Industrial look Lantern.  I will make a couple more as they are so cute.  When I was painting the lantern I followed the technique on page 46 of Tim's Compendium of Curiosities a couple of times to get a more pewter older look.

I would like to say thank you to Tim Mario and the Curiosity Crew for such fun challenges, I love entering every fortnight and a big thank you also to the Inspiration Emporium as they have sponsored this weeks challenge and one of the entries will win a $50 voucher to spend in their store, they have sponsored every other challenge on the odd numbers.

Well here is my entry of my little Pewter Luminaire...  What do you think?

Thank you for coming along and I will see you again soon
