Helllllloooooooooo....
Over at the Everything Wendy Vecchi Yahoo! Group....(EWV for short)... the theme is TIME. It had a two week deadline, and here I am, squeaking in under the wire. Well, I had it done and posted to the group on Monday, but I'm finally getting around to posting it here.
I chose the theme based on the fact that we just had to adjust our clocks backwards an hour. I hate that. It takes me at least a couple of weeks to get adjusted. You wouldn't think an hour makes that big of a difference, but it does. Not to mention the fact that you get up when it's dark, and you get home from work when it's dark. Makes you feel like you're a vampire, minus the thirst for blood. lol. Alright, enough pissing and moaning about that.
I decided to go with a JUMBO tag for this, you know, they're about 4 x 8 inches. Sometimes a number 8 tag just won't do. Here we go....
Ahhh....all the stamps are Studio 490. I'm sure you recognize the Weathered Clock die as the Timinator's. As is the Regal Crest which the sentiment is stamped on. I used black Crackle paint on the clock, then swiped some Viva Inka Gold over it.
The little charms hanging from the fibers at the top are Studio 490 stamps stamped on chipboard, inked and covered with about 2-3 layers of clear embossing powder. Makes them look like little glass pieces, although it's hard to tell from the photo.
As for the background ink colors, I think I used Scattered Straw, Crushed Olive and Shabby Shutters. Yep, I'm pretty sure that's what I used. Then I did the old "spray some water in your hand and drop it all over then blot it with a towel" technique, to give it that "I mistakenly left it out in the rain" look.
So, there you have it! Thanks for stopping by, I know it's been a while!
Go Be Creative!
