Jigsaw Puzzle

Good morning Junkies!  I've been playing around with jigsaw pieces again.  Every now and then I pull a couple out and work toward completing the entire puzzle.  Today I want to share two of the pieces I finished.

Working with such a small, weirdly shaped area does have it's challenges.   Thankfully, Technique Junkies has some sentiment stamps that work perfectly.


I painted the previously gessoed piece with Art Anthology Viridian Sorbet then stenciled that same color through the Dot Matrix stencil.  I stamped Life Full of Love with black ink and then embossed with Lindy's Angel Wing Mauve EP.  I added a wood heart embossed with PK Sparkling Red Rose EP, a wood flourish embossed with Lindy's Madonna Robe Blue Gold EP, and a rose.


For this piece I painted the background with Art Anthology Cayman Sorbet and then stenciled that same color through the Dot Matrix stencil.  I stamped Lock Us Up with black ink and embossed with Lindy's Angel Wing Mauve EP.  All the wood shapes were embossed with Lindy's Silver Moon Turquoise EP.  I also added a little silver trim to this one.

They are simple pieces but I love the tone-on-tone color scheme I used.

Until later...........

Gorgeous work on your puzzle pieces. I just bought a kids puzzle at Good Will to play around with. I hope I can do justice like you did.

What a cool idea! And beautiful execution. Great for both a long-term project and for when you have creative urge but not a lot of time.
