Tackled two challenges on this piece. Gothic Arches theme is "Daisies" and we are now in week #12 for Compedium of Curiosties challenge which is "chipped enamel", which I love this technique.. 
I also used Tim's shabby chic technique on the tombstone to give it texture and stone-like appearance. The image in the frame is a lenticular sticker which gives it that eerie look. 
I have used the "worn enamel" technique before and it continues to be one of my fav's. Tim's book is a must have if you are into altering pieces. I just love participating in different challenges. It drives you into different directions, encourages me to use products that I tend to forget about. And all the other bloggers involved are priceless .... TFL xoxo

Toni, this is WAY cool! What a perfect combination of the two challenges, and I adore your spooky tombstone (the lenticular sticker is a brilliant touch!). Great work on the chipped enamel, and the shabby chic really was the perfect look for this piece. You've achieved Halloween perfection, for sure!
Oh boy! LOVE this one! Your Pushing Daisies-themed piece is AWESOME!
It takes skill to create something inspired by death, including a skull, and STILL end up with beauty!
