Anyone for Rococo?

When I received my Altered Element DT pack a few months ago there was such a lot in it, I am still using lots of the items! I received two sets of Artchix images, the Playful Gents but also some gorgeous Happy Hour images with a French theme, incorporating some Rococo clocks. I'm conscious I've done rather a lot of steam punk items for the AE so I thought I would go for something pretty and ornate and feminine as a contrast. The baroque style was quite over the top which suits me fine, and means I can use my new Baroque Alterations die as the base for this hanging:-



 


I cut the die in mountboard, made holes with my Crop-o-dile, and then covered it with Golden Crackle paste, and added some torn French book text. Once it was dry I painted it gold, and added Crackle Accents over the book page. I added a rubber stamped shrink plastic clock, some pink roses, and finally a tassel.
