Thank you!

I just wanted to say a quick thank you to those of you who have commented on my clock, and to say I have looked at all of your blogs and think you are all so talented! It's nice when new people say nice things about your work!
Ros, thanks for reminding me of the name of the stamp set!
Clare, I think Maplins sell clock mechanisms, will let you know!
Jo, the sage and orange inks I used were Versacolour.
I'm off to do a bit more crafting, back later! xx

Graphicus Challenge

Thank you Glenda at Graphicus! Glenda set a challenge to make a project using stampboard, something I have in my stash but haven't really played with, so this was the perfect opportunity. I started by colouring the boards with green and orange Kaleidocolor, then overstamped each one with a stamp that I think was part of a butterfly unmounted stamp sheet ( It's definitely an Elusive Images stamp anyway!). I stamped first in a sage green, then an orange and lightly sanded it back each time to give an aged look. I then used distress inks for the final stamping and edging, sanded back again. Then the four panels are mounted onto brown card stamped in sage with the same image. Although I have used fake hands for now, there is a hole punched through the middle and a recess in the back to take a real clock mechanism! I am quite pleased with the result, the scan doesn't really do it justice! I hope you like it!
