I have three blogs:

Junk Funk Challenge at Smeared and Smudged!

I had so much fun creating for April's Junk Funk Challenge at Smeared and Smudged. Junk Funk challenge focuses on re-purposing or recycling items that can be easily found in most homes. Each month they will pick a different item and you can make whatever you want with it, as long as it is stamped somewhere!
April's challenge is make a project that uses ALUMINUM FOIL.

Here is my creation:

Image: Hand of Time, Smeared Ink

Created the background using Gelatos on watercolor paper. Added the aluminum foil to create the effect of light and dimension.

I would like to enter this project in the following challenges:
