<strong><em><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia;">I thought it was about time I added something new to my blog as I am so not good at keeping it updated !!</span></em></strong><br />
<strong><em><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia;">Today I finished a jumbo Jigsaw piece that I altered especially for my wonderful Daughter.</span></em></strong><br />
<strong><em><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia;">I got the inspiration for this from Rebecca Swanson who is one of the amazing DT members @ <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/271008489659989/" target="_blank">That Craft Place.</a></span></em></strong><br />

<strong><em><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">First I covered the piece with texture paste, and while it was wet I used a mix of red and white dylusions sprays to colour it.</span></em></strong><br />
<strong><em><span style="font-family: Georgia;">I then added some white metal corners and other pieces and left to dry overnight.</span></em></strong><br />
<strong><em><span style="font-family: Georgia;">I added the gorgeous flowers, angel, buttons, bird and cameos all from That Craft place and let these dry. </span></em></strong><br />

<strong><em><span style="font-family: Georgia;"></span></em></strong><br />
<strong><em><span style="font-family: Georgia;">I made some hat pins and then added a bouquet of flowers into a little silver "thingy" which was an idea I took from Rebecca.</span></em></strong><br />
<strong><em><span style="font-family: Georgia;">The small cameo setting at the bottom I filled with the fab pebeo prisme fantasy paints also from the shop, I love these as they give a marbled look once they dry. </span></em></strong><br />

<strong><em><span style="font-family: Georgia;"></span></em></strong><br />
<strong><em><span style="font-family: Georgia;"> I typed out a quote onto white card and distressed the edges and used some Distress ink to age it. I then curled it slightly and stuck it down, once dried I added some glossy accents to give it a lovely shine.</span></em></strong><br />
<strong><em><span style="font-family: Georgia;">I decided it still needed something so I added a coupe of tassles to the bottom and then added some ribbon to hang it.</span></em></strong><br />
