MIX245 Precious Metals. I dribbled several shades of alcohol ink down the paper and then rolled a coffee straw over the inks. A little white gesso was put here and there for contrast. The gold circles are envelope seals. I added a metallic clock dimensional. From an old Scrabble game, I spelled out Its About Time, using one T for the last two words, and attached some small wood numbers.
WT656 Fun and games. I used old Scrabble tiles.

Oh, I love your scrabble letters!! Great job with the alcohol inks!! I envy the people who really know how to make a mix card. I either need practice, or to just stay away from it.

You sure used some wonderful elements here Kandie...love those gold envelope stickers (good idea) and the scrabble letters..they're great on that fabulous bg...the numbers are inspired especially paired with that clock face. What an excellent card! Thanks for playing along!

This looks fantastic! I love the texture you created. I want to reach out and touch it. I love scrabble. I still use my old ancient set. This sure is a great way to use up the tiles you don't use anymore. Great card.

It's About Time... I know I am really dating myself here, but I remember this being a show in the late 60's and can still remember most of the theme song (which is now looping in my head).
Love your creative mixed media/steampunk style card.

My goodness, the background you created looks amazing with gorgeous colors and shine! Using the Scrabble tiles adds such great dimension and organic effect. Terrific creation!

Very nice envelope seals you have, Kandie. Wonderful vintage look here with that background. And are those real wooden Scrabble tiles! I still have our old family wooden set, so much nicer than the plastic ones. You get a triple score bonus for this.
