Or in this case the name plate.
You may remember back in january I made a couple of name plates, well i've been at it again this time for my lovely friend Gillian.
It took me a while to capture the essence of what I thought she might like but finally the light bulb flicked on and here is the end result.
I started by giving the wooden base a coat of 'mocha mousse' fresco finish paint, I then stamped some script {a PaperArtsy mini} randomly over the whole thing, and rubbed some treasure gold over the edges.
I stamped the letter tiles with a Tim Holtz phrase, and edged the tiles with more treasure gold and highlighted the letters with a white posca pen.
I embellished with a selection of Tim Holtz {stamped and cut out} gentlemen and pointy finger images and some steampunky charms from my stash.
I hope you like it Gilly, I'll be bringing it to ally pally with me xx
can't wait to see you and catch up x
