Hi everyone,
I love this card!
Techniques used:
Cutting the acetate:
I cut the clock using a Tim Holtz die. I used the center die cut from the clock die as my template for the acetate. I placed the circle on the acetate with temporary tape. I cut a 1/8 inch border around the circle (cutting it larger than my template). The acetate was a great fit and slightly large so tat I could glue the acetate to the clock with Gloss Accents. I cut thin strips of mounting tape. Each strip was the circumference of the inner circle. The strips were thin and I was ale to bend them around the circle without having to cut infinite pieces. I made two layers.
So, I have the clock upside down on my craft mat. I added the small hour hands to the inside and also poured in a little Diamond Dust. I picked up my card and laid it down on top of the clock to seal it. (If you try this remember to be sure that your card is going to open the right way. Keep track of your top and bottom!)
I added the large hand to the top of the acetate and added a blue jewel.
The stenciling for the background of my card was interesting. I haven't done a lot of stenciling. I love the effect I get with the modeling pastes.
I wish that you could see this card in person. I used a Cosmic Shimmer Texture Paste by Crafters Companion. It is a glitter paste (not glue). It is SO sparkly! The one I used on this card is called Icicle Blue and is a blue interference color - which is why I chose black - because interference colors show very well on black.
I added the kite as an after thought.
Here's a good picture of the shaker box.
Thanks for stopping by - have a great week, Lis
