TIME DOES NOT CHANGE US....

....IT MERELY UNFOLDS US.

Hi to all, hope you are well & over all the festivities,

I'm a bit short on time this week
so I have made one thing for 3 challenges
they are :-

The Compendium of Curiosities Challenge
over at studio L3 it's week 27
& the technique is DISTRESS MISTING MASKS.

SHOW SOME MASKING over at
simon says stamp and show blog

& I'm entering for the first time, (a challenge blog I stumbled across)
called Try it on a Tuesday
this week you need make a TAG with a MALE theme,

& also for the first time I'm entering a challenge on the
stampotique designers challenge blog
a challenge entitled PUT ON YOUR BEST MASK!

Click on there links to read all the details.

Here's my entry,

I have used the packaging from Tim Holtz idea-ology

to make the bubbles & I filled them with old watch parts

(I thought It would be cool if you could see through them)

so I made a template to cut the holes in the tag

& then pushed the bubble packaging through,

filled them with the watch parts,

 then glued some acetate to the back to seal it all together,

I used Tim's time works mask,

brushed corduroy re inker & heirloom gold perfect pearls

for the background,

The clock stamps are from Paper Artsy

& stamped in coffee archival,

the phrase is also off the same set

& stamped in jet black archival,

This image was a freebie from tumble fish studio

a grate place for inspiration, & she sells fabulous collage sheets

(I have a huge wish list) lol

I am so pleased with the way this tag turned out,

I love that old man image I can see me using him often

(I have named him Horace)

Hope you like It.

off to link this post up all over blog land (lol)

Thanks for stopping by,

Back soon,
