Papergirls Altered jigsaw challenge

It's my turn to set the challenge over on The Papergirls blog so this month the theme is an altered jigsaw with added 'Bling' If you don't have a jigsaw piece you can alter there is a template available here that you can use which has four different sizes to suit your own individual taste.
Below is my jigsaw piece example which includes a Christmas image from Cens' crafty bits as the focal point. After printing I added white glitter to Santa's hat and beard using pva glue to add a 3d effect.
I stamped mini circles with a snowflake stamp (unknown) to make little paper baubles with added ribbon....

a little bit of bling and prima flowers adds a girly touch... and I stamped onto the background paper (free from Cen's loft Christmas freebies) using an Artistic Stamper flourish stamp and Red Brick distress ink from Scrapz before edging the whole jigsaw piece with gold Kryon pen.

A ribbon bow and hanger with more bling completed my little project....

and now I have another Christmas decoration to add to my ever growing collection :D

Thanks for looking and I hope that you will pop over to the Papergirls blog and join in with the challenge. You will find the other details including the closing date over there :D

Happy crafting

Altered jigsaw piece

This large jigsaw piece was recycled from one of DG's jigsawsfrom his toddler days... see told you I was hoarding...lol I'm on a roll right now and have lots more to share with you over the coming weeks and I promise it won't ALL be altered stuff. These girlie's are looking very laid back to me... wouldn't it be fun if WE could find a toadstool big enough to sit on.... errrrmmm ok maybe not, specially if you're holding a glass of wine at the time :)
I covered the jigsaw piece and made the toadstool with some beautiful Papermania papers from the Vintage collection.

I also added some sparkle with my gold leaf pen rather than bling, though unfortunately the photos don't do it justice I'm afraid

Thanks for looking... hope to see you again soon :)
