The MDF Man
Hay Snazzy Gang, Here I am again as promised with another cog project.
This time I used the clock piece cog, I say clock piece as it is a thicker cog and has an opening at the back so as to be able to fit the clock workings behind and for it to lay flat against the wall.
I started by covering my cog edges with a layer of gesso, I knew I was going to cover the front with paper so didn't need to paint the whole cog.
I've used a sheet of my much loved and treasured 'Lille' papers by 7 Gypsies, Now you may be thinking.. wow those papers are old, and yes they are, BUT there is a reason behind me using them.

In case you didn't know Snazzy's Online Store has a Clearance section that is bursting at the seams with bargain stamps at the moment, And I spied the set of 'Lille' clear stamps I had been after for an age, suffice to say I snapped up a set quick smart.
I stamped the stars from the set direct onto the paper covered clock in 'faded jeans' Distress ink, and then re-stamped and layered up on foam pads so they were protruding more, I also gave them a coat of 'rock candy' Distress Stickles to bling them up a bit.
I gave the wording on the paper a coat of 'rock candy' Distress Crackle Paint.
I stamped, coloured and cut out the bird from the 'Lille' stamp set.
I also stamped the word abundance with versamark ink and clear embossed with Snazzy's 'clear' EP.
Then to finish I just highlighted the hands of the clock and the edges of the clock with some 'indigo' treasure gold.
I hope you have enjoyed my project today, Sometimes it's the simple things that make the most impact don't you think!
