Time Isa Fly'n!

Hi Crafters! I'm really excited to get through this post, and you will see why towards the end. 

At the All Things Tim Yahoo Group, the ATC swap challenge this month is "Wings". So here mine is.

I stuck some Inkssentials Metal Foil Tape to cardstock, and then colored it with Red Pepper Alcohol Ink.

I used Tim's Mini Clock Die to cut the shapes out.

I added Alcohol Ink Blending Solution to an Alcohol Ink Pen, and removed the Ink from the feet, knob, and hands of the clock. I recolored the hands with Pitch Black Alcohol Ink in another Pen.

I inked the clocks with Walnut Stain and then poured UTEE on them and heat embossed. The red faded a little bit, but it made a wonderful vintage color.

More Foil Tape was adhered to cardstock and then gessoed very lightly. I used Tim's Sizzix Heart Wings Die to cut wings.

I coated the wings with Crackle Accents, let them dry, and then inked them with Walnut Stain.

Using the Mini Compass image, I stamped it in Jet Black Archival onto some scrap pieces of round shapes of cardstock. I cut them out and adhered the clock faces to them using Crackle Accents, which made a crackley look underneath. I adhered these to the Mini Clocks, and the wings to that last. A Long Fastener and a metal gear finished these off.

I created a masterboard using a sheet of Sandable Embossed Graphic 45 Cardstock from Core-dinations. I sanded the clock faces, and then stamped 2013 using Brushed Pewter Distress Stain. After I cut the ATCs, I inked the edges with Black Soot Distress Ink, and misted the cards with Biscotti Perfect Pearls. After I adhered the flying clocks, I computer generated the sentiment.

 

I had some of the masterboard cardstock left over, so I thought I would do a little variation, and make some more ATCs as gifts.  I added some letters in Antique Bronze Distress Stain. Yes that's right...CHA! I'm heading out today and I couldn't be more excited! This is a dream come true for me. I didn't think it would ever happen. I'll take lots of photos and blog about what I see so you all can share in the fun through my eyes.

I am also submitting this to Hels Sunday Stamper challenge for "Things That Fly". And, I will finally get to meet Hels at CHA in the flesh!
