It's time for Mash...

Hiya!

This week's Friday Mashup challenge is brought to us by Erica and she is bringing us a 'time' theme...

So here is the "Mashup" Challenge:

 

1. Make a project with a "Time Theme".

2. Or Make a project using the "Color Black".

3. Or "Mash it Up" and create a project with a " Time theme using the color Black".

When I saw this challenge coming up I quickly ordered the Clockworks stamp set (it's been on my wish list since the catty came out but other things kept jumping ahead of it!) and thankfully it came in time to make this card...

I was pretty pleased with how this one turned out considering I normally gravitate towards pretty things involving flowers and butterflies (not to mention ribbon!), so a man's card is always a challenge! I went with lots of neutrals (Sahara Sand, Basic Black, Very Vanilla and Naturals Ivory) as well as a metallic touch (silver embossing powder, brad and Smooch). The clock was created by stamping the frame on black and embossing it with silver EP, then cutting it out. The centre is very vanilla card, stamped with one of the grunge elements in Sahara Sand, then with the clock face and hands over the top in Stazon. I punched this out with a 1 1/4" circle punch and inked the edges in black ink. This was then glued to the frame, covered with Crystal Effects and (when dry) attached a silver brad throuh the middle. Here's a close up...

On the naturals ivory panel behind the clock I stamped the large grunge element using Sahara Sand ink. The Sahara Sand background was stamped with three of the small clock part stamps with Sahara Sand ink then spritzed with silver Smooch. The zigzag strip was embossed with the chevron EF then hand trimmed into the zigzag shape and spritzed with more Smooch. There's a tiny strip of silver glimmer paper die-cut with the pinking edgelit and an embossed sentiment from Curly Cute to finish things off. I used the current Fab Friday sketch for my layout...

Make sure you make time to see what the rest of the Friday Mashup designers have created!

Thanks for stopping by...
