Welcome back to the blog everyone, thanks again for coming by. If your following along with the Altered Puzzle Challenge, we are onto week 6 Here are the links to the previous posts for this challenge Week 1 Week 2 Week 3 Week 4 Week 5 Our Facebook group is here: Facebook Group We are creating pieces 9 and 10 and I started with my first piece but adding Dylusions paint to my background. First yellow.... Then some orange (I added all these colors with a sponge on my finger) I added red with the side of my credit card by just scraping it downward Next I added turquoise with a Tim Holtz stencil and lastly I added a bit of hand writing with my Zig pen I wrote a quote that my husband just had engraved onto my wedding ring. "Place me like a seal over your heart" Song of Solomon 8:6 Next I added a tad bit of white paint here and there with my brush Now that I have my background done, I am going to cover up most of it... LOL.. I die cut this heart and added a bit of double sided removable sticky tape and stuck it into the middle of my puzzle piece I then used black paint to smudge along the edges Once I removed the die cut heart, you can see the bright colored background I then added white paint around my edges I used my pen again to write the word "Love" and then cut it out I also used a baby wipe to wipe some of the white paint off around the edges Here is my first finished puzzle piece For the second piece I used some Tim Holtz paper and glued a piece to my background and cut it out Next I used wash tape and added some to a piece of card stock and cut it into a stem This is going to act as the stem for a flower I'm going to create To create the flower, I decided to use Wendy Vecchi clearly for art in pitch black I am also using Ranger's alcohol inks in Metallic silver and gold I cut my clearly for art using Tim Holtz movers and shapers tattered flowers die Simply use a distress tool to apply the alcohol ink onto the clearly for art flowers Next, heat up the clearly for art and shape it as much as you want. I ended up only using one of the flowers that I cut out I found a video where Wendy shows how to make a similar flower HERE I added a Tim Holtz mini gear to the center of my flower and figured out where I wanted this flower to go onto my background. Using E6000 glue I adhered to my background I added my sentiment and trimmed the stem on the bottom of my flower and last I used my copper pen to edge the piece Here is my finished 2nd piece and here are my two pieces together and the puzzle together So far so good? I hope you have fun creating your pieces this week.
