As usual the 1st of each month sees the new challenge start over at Rhedd's Creative Spirit...so for my project I altered one of the puzzle pieces to make a pretty wall hanging.
I started by sanding the image off of the puzzle piece and then gave it a coat of gesso. When that was dry I then covered the piece with a napkin, when that was dry I punched 2 holes and added a cord for hanging.
Next I added a couple pieces of lace and some applique. I found a vintage image in my stash, so I distressed the edges of that and added that to a scrap piece of script backing paper, distressing the edges of that as well.
I added the topper to the altered puzzle piece and then added a couple of roses and pearl trim.
I felt it was still lacking something so I added a silver effect corner pieces and a blingy butterfly.
I am really happy with how this piece turned out..it now has pride of place hanging on the handle of my pine wardrobe.
Do pop over to the blog for a look...check out the designers projects this month..you may be inspired to join in with the challenge...

How different our styles and colours are Sandie! I think environment plays a big part. My giant jigsaw pieces were Bright...Did I say BRIGHT!
Your vintage piece is charming - the open space really enhances the embellishments.
Such a lovely altered piece of puzzle! I need to go look for some now. Thanks for he inspiration. Hugs.
Oh wow Sandie! This is just gorgeous! Beautifully vintage, and using a napkin for the background was inspired. Love it. x
