Time...tick tock goes the clock!

Hey there bloggers,
Hope you have had a crafty day...I am blogging this card which was an experiment in using a distress ink, Forest Moss, that shock horror had never been used!I decided to let it out to play and here is what I ended up with....

I am entering this card for the Creative Expressions card of the month challenge, for August details can be found at :

I am also entering this card into the following challenges:
time @ http://takeaword.blogspot.com/
distressing and tearing @ http://thecraftypad.blogspot.com/
masculine@ http://sugarcreekhollow.blogspot.com/
go mad with embossing @ http://fabnfunkychallenges.blogspot.com/


The details,
1. The background was made by splodging forest moss, picket fence and antique linen onto a craft mat, spritzing with water and the smooshing (technical term)the card around...hope that technical tale makes sense!

2.The clock background was embossed using a Tim Holtz embossing folder and the DI antique linen, bundled sage, forest moss and black soot added, using applicator tool.

3.The clocks were stamped in forest moss DI and then forest moss applied with tool. The piece was then scrumpled, unscrumpled and black soot applied with too, sparingly.

4.The greeting was made in same way without the scrumpling!

5.The large clock face was stamped in forest moss and then painted with forest moss picked up from craft mat.Once dry glossy accents was added to clock face.
6.Finally I made 2 little shrink plastic clocks on frosty shrink plastic, fab stuff!

Anyway, hope you are still awake, try and keep it shorter next time!sorry!!!
