I started out with a completely different card in mind, but it kind of evolved (especially after I goofed the sentiment on the panel!) I first used the Wrinkle Free Distress technique on watercolor paper using Going Grey, Basic Grey, Pretty in Pink and Pink Pirouette on acetate and spritzing with water. I then stamped some of the wire image on this and ran embossed it in the Pocket Watches ef and sponged a bit over the clock faces. I distressed the edges and mounted it onto the Basic Grey framing and distressed its edges too. I had stamped my sentiment here, but hadn't inked it well enough...so, I went with the tag and ended up really liking it...stamped the wire and clocks in Going Grey and the Sentiment in Basic Grey. I sponged some of the pinks and also used Itty Bitty bg spatter in the pinks and greys...distressed, crumpled and sponged it, added the eyelet and fibers. I decided on a floral accent so I stamped the flowers with the Rock 'n Roll technique and crimped the flowers. I added the grey corduroy buttons, cut the leaves out of a grey newsprint dp, added some spatter and sponged the edges. My final addition was the clock charm hung from a safety pin in the corner.
