For my first piece this week, I am going to take metal tape (bought at the hardware store in the plumbing section) and I am going to emboss two strips of it with an embossing folder.

Why two strips? Because in order to cover the entire puzzle piece I need two pieces of the tape

Once embossed, I used distress paint in two colors over the metal tape, I set that aside to dry completely

Once dry, I used my mini sanding tool to go over the top in order to scrape some of the paint off, giving the tape a distressed look

I then used ink and went over the top as well, giving it even more of a distressed look

I then taped the pieces to my puzzle piece and trimmed the edges

I then grabbed some corrugated cardboard and tore a piece to use

I used two colors of ink to distress it a bit

I then added my cardboard and trimmed

I then punched a hole in one end of my piece and added this Tim Holtz hitch fastener

Next I used some more of Tim Holtz ideology products and added a color of distress paint 

I am going to hang the "dream" from the hitch

Here is my finished first puzzle piece

For my next piece I went really simple and added some color with DecoArt spray media misters

Next I stamped the swirl with a stamp and simply wrote my sentiment. First I wrote it with black and didn't like it so I wrote it over with my white gel pen

Here is my finished 2nd piece

and here are my pieces together

Have fun this week, I hope you enjoy the pieces.
