And here's a closer look
I seem to be doing an awful lot with the TSS metal at the moment. I've used T!m's floral tatters die to cut out some material, then cut out some metal of various colours, some have been through a cuttle bug folder first, then sanded down, some have been stamped on with fantastic Wendy Vecchi stamps, the butterfly and heart have been coloured with alcohol inks. The chipboard piece is metal, terra and then coloured with acrylic and Viva previous metal in blue. The box is a small wood box which I've covered with copper TSS and then coloured with acrylics, glimmer mists and crafty notions sprays, to give a patina effect. I did try to use liver sulphur to do this but I don't this the TSS metal is proper copper metal so it didn't work, although I have now bought some solid copper and going to give it another try. All the things in the photos are work in progress, some of which I have to finish this afternoon, after watching Ranger on QVC. Loved watching Suze yesterday. Thanks for looking, please pop over to Julia's blog and see what everyone else has been up to.
