I Can See Clearly Now!
OK not really, but at least I can find my glasses case! For a long time I have wanted to alter the many cases I have and this has laid around with a crackle finish and those Steampunky eyes for several weeks. Today we decided it would be a good day to finish what was started!
So here is why I did! I used the SteamPunk and Secretary Pool stamp plates from Artistic Outpost and everything was stamped on tissue paper and cut out, using Archival and heat set! The block letters are all from one stamp and after I heat set, I colored the reverse side with Distress Markers. I did give this a quick spray of Matt Sealer to avoid any running once I glued these down with a gel medium. I was wanting a collage of letters, so these were just randomly placed. After I was happy, I gave this another coat of gel medium and then a coat of matt varnish! I am also linking this up to The Cheerful Ink Pad's "Anything But a Card" challenge!

This is so fabulous Terry, and I must make a glasses case as I am very bad about not putting my glasses away. This is an AO set I really fancy although I am lucky as a certain friend has offered to let me use hers, lol!!
