Fat Book Page Swap

I joined a swap on UK Scrappers of fat book pages and they are just about to return home!! Yay!!  I have still to make the actual covers etc so that it is ready to put together when they arrive in the post.
This is my attempt...the idea was to try out different techniques so that we have a set of ten different ideas to play with in the future and my theme was Time Flies.  I painted the background chipboard brown and then coated it with crackle medium and then added a final coat of black paint.  I then stamped a time image and heat embossed this in bronze (some are in gold) and then sealed it with Mod Podge.  The chipboard clock face was papered in dictionery paper then the clock image was printed onto tissue paper and coated with Mod Podged.  The small clock images were printed on tissue paper and attached with Mod Podge.  I added brass wings to the clock face to represent the 'time flies' theme and hung a silver time piece on each which was filled with liquid embossing fluid.
Hanging from the chipboard page with chain is a little bottle of beads/glitter and a brass key, a little chipboard mini book and a chipboard watchface.  I really hope my swappees like them, this is my first attempt at fat book pages!
