Hope you are having a beautiful day! It is going to be in the 80's here today and I think it will be a lovely day for working in the yard. Although when I did that the other day, I paid for it will nasty allergies for two days! I suppose that is like working with stamps and inks and paying for it with stained fingernails? I don't know about you, but I sure get very excited over
Tim's new releases. All my life I have had pretty good self-control, but not when it comes to Tim!
The inspiration for this Tag came from a brand new challenge blog, SanDee & Amelie's Steampunk Challenges, "
Cuckoo Clocks Go Steampunk." Inspiration Journal is all about adding a little "
P.O.P" and this has pocket watch has two chipboard layers and is further elevation by large "Pop Dots." We are also taking flight with Bloggers Challenge, "
Come Fly With Me."
The new Pocket Watch die was cut from both Black Card Stock and Chipboard, stamped in Opalite Ink and clear embossed. These inks have a really nice metallic look and I love them! I then used the steampunk gear to cut out the opening for the sweet little birds, through one layer of CS and CB. The second CB cut was just for dimension.
The background clocks from Hero Arts was stamped in VersaMark and clear embossed, inked with Distress and then Tim's "Mini Blueprints 3" gears was stamped in Black Soot in a random pattern. The next step was pulling out that iron and you know the rest!
Hope you are enjoying the week and have a wonderful weekend - almost! Thank you for stopping by!
Stamps: Tim's Tiny Things and Mini Blueprints #3, Hero Arts Clock Background

Oh my gosh GF this is just one heck of an amazing tag, so inspirational. The pocket watch looks fabulous inked and embossed but the cog aperture and the birdies is so clever.the background is the perfect backdrop for it.
I am so jealous of the temperatures you have, can you send some over here please?

Your artwork is beautiful. I dabble in a little scrap booking but I am not near this level or don't even come close.
Looks amazing my friend. I can see why you love Tims new released items. You sure know how to make his goodies look good. We are in the 80's as well.. I'm really not ready for it to be this hot yet..
Hope you are enjoying your weekend.
