Tuesday taggers..... GET MESSY!

What a great challenge this week.... i always get messy and work in total chaos.... but to actually take a picture of it? Now that was a challenge! I had to wash my hands to get the camera so you cant see the state my hands were in but i'm sure you can imagine!
I have altered a little set of drawers.... painted them with a paint i mixed... matt black with just a hint of glitter.... stamped and embossed every side and then sanded it.... my grandad couldnt believe i'd do all that work then attack it with a sanding block.... he watched in amazement.... unfortunatly he'd forgotten by tea time and asked where i got the 'box' but hey.... thats grandad! I highlighted edges and corners with gold, then sanded... had an awful lot of fun.... really i should have photographed my trousers as they were filthy as i sanded it on my lap in the kitchen.
I used T!m Holtz stamps and china white embossing powder.
Please come and join us this week.... i really cant wait to see what you create but mostly i wanna see everyones mess.... will it be worse than mine? I doubt it!
Thanks for stopping by hugs lynx

  5. Lyn, you continue to amaze me with the beautiful things you create! You always go out of the box and consistently have the most amazing projects! This is superb! I definitely could never do that - you can easily see the city scape there! It's totally awesome! ;D
