May Challenge - "Alter It" by Tando Creative

Well, I've been very busy doing Art as much as I can cause I love it. So here is my Alter It Challenge that Tando Creative has post it on their blog. I've done this before but I need it a new box for my foam thingies that I've used with my Distress Inks, yes I know I need the Tim Holtz tool but little by little...lol

So my project was based on a regular balsa box and I've altered it with dictionary paper, Distress Inks, Tim Holtz stickers, Stickles, Inkssential Accents, Acrylic Gold paint and other embellishments I came across with of course I need it to use my Mod Podge which as you know is my favorite. The results? Fun, cool and now I can keep all those foam thingies hidden and organize. I have a video that the Balsa Box I've Altered is very similar to what you see here so is basically a tutorial on how to do this, but I didn't use the final ingredient which was the Mod Podge, you will need  to add this product to make it look awesome.

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
