What a fantastic challenge from Gingersnaps and so suitable for the wonderful images from Dezinaworld. Here I have used two. One of her wonderful tags which are works of art in themselves and I have another of her images which is the woman in the frame.
I am sure you can tell this is one of "those" Ikea frames. I am sure many people have them lurking in their stash. Well, I eventually brought mine out and decided to use it. Numerous acrylic paint daubers were applied to the large frame. Experimenting and adding until I was happy. I initially stopped when it was much darker and then decided to lighten it. Not sure what colours I used now, but quite a few. I am sure I could never repeat it.
It was then stamped with, I think, some Paper Artsy stamps. The frame is definitely a Paper Artsy stamp and I think the watch is too? Various Tim Holtz dies were used and the railings, hinge and key hole were given the rusty embossing powder treatment. Of course I had to use my favourite up cycled material again, my famous tomato puree tubes. Several images from The Grapich 45 Steampunk paper set and I think that is about it.

Wow, what a beautiful image, you have made!
I love all the little details and especially the hand with the 'flying' man.
I didn't realise the frame was from Ikea until you said it, but you did a great job transforming it! An by the way: Deep down we all love Ikea, don't we?! ;-)
