Lisa is our hostess for the WTUI challenge and you can find her intriguing challenge HERE. With a day off, I hope to create something later using a beautiful envelope I received and saved, but here's the sample I made.
DH collects watches, and recently did a review of them to see what needed new straps, batteries etc. One he decided to throw out, so I said no, give me the dial. He said I could make something beautiful with it. This is funky rather than beautiful, but I like it
For the background I took some DP and stencilled it with Timeless Classic stencil in black, and edged with ablack Sharpie. Since we all know that time flies, I decided to make my watch face into a little bug, so I used circles and a die from First Edition âClocksâ. I edged the black circles with a gold pen, and added wobbly eyes. The wings (and sentiment) are from Art Journey âYour Wingsâ. The wings were stamped and embossed with black, then coloured with Twinkling H2Os and a sprinkle of Pixie Powder. The sentiment was stamped on a scrap of gel print, with âgoodâ stamped again and popped up to emphasise it. I added a clock hand cut from one of my tomato paste tubes, and a silver arrow on the sentiment. Across the card I added all the digits from the clock face, cut from silver. And as old watches always specified how many gems they had, and I was fascinated by the concept of watches having rubies in them, I added some red gems around the rim of the clock face.

A+++ for creativity - what an awesome card! I have a drawer full of old watches and would have never come up with such a cleaver card! Great sentiment - feeling like life is flying by at teh moment...

Sabrina this is absolutely brilliant! I am so glad you found a great card for that watch face that DH was going to toss out. My hubby collects watches but none are ready for the trash yet but now that I have seen this card if ever I see he is going to toss one I am going to snatch it up so fast because of this card. Thank you for this absolutely brilliant and amazing card for the challenge.

That's a keeper! I wonder if C will take it from you for himself and his watch workspace.
I didn't know about rubies and watches and just looked it up and learned! Fascinating. Now I know what "jewels" in watches mean. That is a good "insider" reference with your stones.
Great take on that old but so true idea of time flying.
