Coasters...

This month's swap at the Cubby Hole is to alter three coasters using "time" as a theme as the clocks spring forward at the end of this month (about time!). They have not scanned too well I am afraid. I should have waited and scanned on my office scanner tomorrow as that copes with bulk better .... but then I am not known for my patience lol! 1. I sanded the coasters. 2. Applied a thin layer of gesso 3. Covered with cream acrylic paint 4. Stamped text in "latte" dye ink 5. Stamped tissue paper with clock images etc in "expresso" dye ink 6. Applied tissue paper with PVA working into coasters (I really like this effect and should remember to use it more) 7. Inked through sequin waste 8. Sanded chipboard, stamped and then triple embossed. 9. Images from Crafty Individuals added. As well as the Cubby Hole Swap I am entering these into Tuesday Taggers challenge (Altered Item) and Hels Sheridan "Ink on my Fingers" challenge (Time).... I think it is now time for bed .... after tidying away of course! Sleep tight....
