A wooden bangle

I recently found some fabulous wooden bangle blanks ready for decorating and decided that my first one was going to be an inky one: 

 

I started by using a pale green distress ink over the outside and then a darker one:

 

I then laid Tim Holtz masks over the inked bangle and added more ink over the top. The next step was to add a darker brown ink along the edges and then tiny rhinestones in the middle of the masked flowers:

 
I think the next blank is going to be decorated with paper but I'm not sure yet LOL!

As always, thanks for visiting IACW!

My eldest got hold of one of these at the last Ally Pally - she used some kind of shimmery paint on hers and stamped over the top. They really are beautiful in real life aren't they? She's making them as presents for her friends.

Looking forward to seeing what else you do with yours :)
