Compendium of Curiosities 2 - Shattered Stains

Well very busy weekend with Mother's Day and all that, I've barely had time to sit down and do what I love to do but spending time with my family was the best yet.

 For this week Compendium of Curiosities 2 challenge is Shattered Stains found on page 48 of Tim Holtz book.  This challenge is sponsored by Simon Says Stamp. The whole concept of this technique is very fun and quite challenging, I've try my best to get those stains in the crackle paint as much as I could, hope I did it right. For this challenge I've created a tag and have used several Ranger materials like Distress Inks, Distress Crackle Paint, one of Tim's rubber clear stamps sentiments and grunge board.

Thanks to Linda for this wonderful adventures lol...

Compendium of Curiosities 2 - Pockect Watch

So for this technique chosen for this week’s CC2C Challenge on the Studio L3 blog is the Pocket Watch .  The instructions for the technique can be found on page 35 of Tim Holtz’s book Compendium of Curiosities Volume 2. Love the pocket watch is such an amazing thing to do and then yet I feel is like a little treasure that has disappear in time. Now I've always find pocket watches very sexy and attractive in a man, once in my life I met a man that would use a pocket watch and I was so fascinated with his style, this is such and old tradition but men around the World don't consider this an attractive watch to wear or carry. I have to thank Tim for bringing this tradition back in a Vintage way like everything Tim does an I can keep one forever. So for this spectacular piece I've used as the background for my Pocket Watch Tim Holtz Paper, some metal embellishments metal clock plate, spinner and small key, the stamped number 63 comes from a Tim Holtz Clear Rubber Stam
