By now you will all know how bad I am at photography but I am even worse when it comes to shiny items. You can see the reflection of the house in the globe and there is also a slightly pink tinge to the silver foil (I am wearing a pink sweat shirt and this is being reflected).

The challenge this time was to include:

• something round (clock face, plastic globe, brads)
• something shiny (sheet of gold foil, shine on plastic globe also glossy accents)
• and some heat embossing (stamped clock face and the large brad)

After embossing the clock face I then painted over it with the moonshadow ink and to see the lovely red mica in it I then went over it with the glossy accents. I did the smaller face first and distressed the look by heating the glaze to make it bubble up. Then I glazed the rest of the clock face.
After embossing the cogs I coloured the metal using alcohol inks then removed some the colour using blending solution on a cotton bud to highlight some of the cogs.
The large brad has been coloured with alcohol inks then embossed with the Distress embossing powder.
