Wishing You

 Tall ship image from Beyond the Fringe. The image was simply printed and distressed using Tim Holtz distressing inks. I used a double sided adhesive sheet to adhere the glass beads to the image. For the background base I cut out some gears and used some scrap pieces of drywall tape and placed them randomly on my cardstock. Then I covered the cardstock completely with some metal tape my husband had sitting in his garage. Using a stylus I went around all the shapes to give them crisp, deep edges and distressed  with a staz on ink pad. Before I place the image on the base I added foamboard behind to give solid dimension and then some gauze for effect.
