Hi and welcome! Monday and of course a new Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge. This week our challenge is all about time. I often use themes related to time and this week I thought it was the perfect time to alter my Tim Holtz Assemblage Clock. I had so much fun making this and made it in a shabby chic style since it was a gift for my sister. She has it on a shelf in her kitchen now and it is really at home there. Instead of using clock arms or a clock image in the background, I used the lady stamp from Stampers Anonymous Classics #5 together with one of my favourite sentiments, also from that set. I first disassembled the clock (if you do this, remember to put the screws, washers and parts in a safe place so that you don't lose any of them). I started out painting it with Vintaj Patina Inks, but changed my mind and coated it with gesso instead. The gesso gives tooth for the Distress Paint to adhere too. Next, I painted it with Antique Linen Distress Paint and when dry, with Spun Sugar. When the paint was dry, I burnished the clock slightly to reveal some of the metallic and some of the lighter colours underneath. I also aged it further with a wash of watered-down Frayed Burlap paint, most of which was wiped off. A few images from the Tiny Things set were stamped with Stazon ink and I used one of my favourite text stamps to add words to the background. Hold the cling stamp in your hand instead of mounting on an acrylic block since that makes it much easier to stamp on the uneven surface. I planned where some of the stamped words would go, such as this one. I traced the back of the clock on a piece of Specialty Stamping paper and cut out a slightly smaller circle. The face was stamped with Archival Jet Black ink and then I coloured it lightly with Distress Inks, making sure to leave the white of the eye white. The rest of the circle was inked and the flowers were stamped with Victorian Velvet. Later I also stamped a clock stamp in three places. The roses were made with the Tattered Pine Cone die, and die cut from three colours Core'dinations cardstock as well as BasicGrey ledger paper. I die cut leaves with the Garden Greens die, also from ledger and text papers. Before assembling the flowers, the Core'dinations cardstock was lightly sanded and the roses were inked with Frayed Burlap. I also gave them a vintage shimmery look with Rock Candy Distress Glitter. I put the glass back again, since I wouldn't have been able to put it back after gluing down the flowers. I also assembled the rest of the clock since it would be hard to do so once the embellishments were in place. The flowers were glued to the sides of the clock and the leaves tucked in here and there. I also added a couple of sprocket gears. The sentiment was stamped on a piece of ledger paper and the corners were rounded with my Crop 'n Dile Corner Chomper. I added some rub-on stars to the glass. I wanted the look of old enamel, but also with some texture. Adhere the stamped and inked circle to the back piece of the clock and press the back piece back. You can get so many different looks with this clock, it is a really fun piece to alter. Join us this week in our time challenge and you can be the one who wins a $50 gift voucher from Simon Says Stamp, drawn randomly among the participants. Thank you for visiting my blog!
