Play Day

Preparing for an upcoming project to present to the Designing Divas art club, I ran across a few things that have gone unnoticed or buried for a very long time.  One was the Pansy stamp issued way back when by PSX and the other was a stack of puzzle card parts that I purchased when one of our local stores closed two years ago.

So . . . I decided to create a card using both and this is what I came up with. I sponged and stippled color on the puzzle pieces and stamped the image in black dye ink on top.  Separated the pieces and rearranged them on label paper sticky side up.  When the puzzle pieces were all in place, I sprinkled the open areas with glitter and attached the puzzle to a red card.  I decided it needed a little extra so I enhanced some of the image with a white gel pen.  Easy and fun for a change.

oh Carolyn, I can't wait, looks like a great project. I have that same stamp if you'd like me to bring it along as an extra to use!

I love the enhancements with the white gel pen. It was put that added touch on your work.

I really like this card. Good use for old puzzles. Would also make a good framed picture too.
Thanks for sharing!
