A rather off-beat card from me for Janelle's -All About Timing MIXed media challenge. Not what I had in mind at all. I spent some time assembling my robot - adding eyelets for Pam and Karen's just-for-fun challenge found in General Stamping Talk - and then made a very pretty background using an ef called clockwork daisies. But if I used an aperture card to help the robot stand out, I covered up too much of the daisies. So I'll be along later over the weekend with a more feminine card. For a better background for the robot, I pulled out a gel print, and added the clock stencil. Made a bit of a mess embossing the Time Flies sentiment, but decided that if the robot had painted it as graffiti, that was fine. So I added a few drips of black paint, and gave him a paintbrush with the edges of the bristles dipped in black paint. Tore some grey card for the foreground, edged the rest in black and that's it. SN clear glitter pen gives his "head" a nice sparkle
When I was growing up we had three clocks that needed weekly winding, one of my dad's tasks. A tall grandfather clock, a very decorative cloisonne enamelled one, and another very ornate one which his parishioners had presented to my great-great-maybe another great-grandfather, which chimed the quarters as well as striking the hours, so keeping it wound up was extra important.

What a funny robot, I love all the items you've used but most of all the paint brush, and the background is fantastic, love the brick wall and the graffiti, painted by your robot!!

I love how you put the challenges together on the little robot card! It’s perfectly tinkered with just like a robot card should be! Thank you for playing in the Mix-Ability challenge!
