This month over at 'Vintage Stamping' Claire chose the theme and set a task of 'Just for You' meaning make something for yourself to keep or something that you would like to receive from somebody else! As always there's a $20 spend up for grabs from Flonz Crafts. (Remember we need to see some stamping on your project but even though we have 'Vintage' in the title your make doesn't have to be!)
I decided to have a change from cards and made this for me to keep -
Had lots of fun and as always made lots of mess!
I started by covering the Art Parts spool and bases with some papers from my stash.
I sanded the edges to make them tidy then ran some Tea Dye DI round them.
A quick covering of Mod Podge to seal. On the bottom I put a clock button, some old lace and two filigree metal flowers.
The fob watch is also Art Parts.
The base part was also covered with paper from the same pad and then I over stamped over it with a Blossom Branch stamp from our sponsor and embossed in Weathered Wood EP.
I used gold embossing powder on the top piece randomly dabbing some Weathered Wood.
Assembled the two pieces together with 3d pads.
Out with the Shrink Plastic!! Clear piece and a cream piece. Stamped a pocket watch on the cream piece and stamped a sentiment - 'Time Began in a Garden' as always held my breath when I blasted it with the heat gun!
A bit of broken chain from an old necklace and a gold metal butterfly.
The 'flower fairies' were cut from a scrap of paper and stuck to a scrabble tile - edged the tile with silver (probably should have used gold but just picked up the silver pen!). Finished it with a die cut flower and some lace 'leaves'.
Hope you can find time to join the challenge this time - we love to see your creations!

Hi Viv this is a beauty! Gorgeous papers and love the vintage look to it. At first I thought it was quite large but if that is a Scrabble tile then it is a lot smaller that I thought. Beautiful detail on it. Susan xx
