Time Waits for No One

The theme this week at

Tagalong Challenge

is

Tick Tock - #40

I have a couple of stamps that would fit this theme

quite nicely, but then I looked at my collection

of tags that already have backgrounds

and found the perfect one.

This background tag has a twin as when I stamped them

they were pushed next to each other

and so each tag got half a clock.

I had started off blending Distress Ink colours together,

probably a mix of 'mustard seed' and 'fired brick'.

(I say 'probably' as these tags were done some time ago,

before I owned 'spiced marmalade', and I know

if you blend yellow, red, yellow and just a tad more red,

you get a lovely rich orange colour)

I stamped the winged clock from Graphic 45 "Happy Hauntings"

with 'jet black' Archival Ink 

and gently blended 'spiced marmalade' and 'seedless preserves'

for a bit of contrast to the background.

The quote is hand written on scraps of white card

blended with 'seedless preserves' and just a smidge of 'vintage photo'.

The winged clock and the words were fussy cut
and popped onto dimensionals.

Background clocks are Tim Holtz and ?

To finish I dragged a piece of muslin through 'seedless preserves'

and tied it through the hole on the tag.

Happy Crafting!!!
