I started by applying Versamark Ink over the surfaces of the pieces and heat embossing with Aged Gold Embossing Enamel. I also cut a coordinating circle frame from cardboard which recieved the same treatment.
After everything was covered I inked up the woodgrain stamp with versamark. I then heated up the embossing enamel and pressed the stamp into the embossing enamel. I repeated the process until all the surfaces were covered in textured gold.
I pop dotted the pieces together to create a layered effect.
I stamped the images using a mix of inks and cut out the pieces out to place along the bottom. I also created my clock face with numbers, clock hands and stamped the ship in the background. Of course after I finished my clock face I realized I should have turned the numbers around on the bottom. :)
