You know I love all things Vintage – but you may not know that I also have a fascination with Clocks. I'm not sure why but I love them-especially antique clocks. As a Paper Crafter, I often try to incorporate them into my Card Making. I have been all about the challenges lately because I love how they push me creatively so this card takes both Vintage and "Time" into it. I've taken lots of pictures so you can see exactly how the backgrounds were achieved – but they seem to be different every time anyway! LOL Also, I really appreciate all of your comments. They truly warm my heart! I hope you've been finding the YouTube Videos helpful. I will be doing lots more of them so Subscribe To My YouTube Channel so you can be notified when new ones post. Thanks for stopping by! 😀
- Begin with a piece of Manila Cardstoc 4-1/8" x 5-3/8". Put it throught the Big Shot in the TH Clocks Texture Fade.
- Apply various shades of Distress Ink directly to the cardstock using Blending Tools
- Prepare a scrap of Manila Cardstock by apply Distress Stains and sponging through the TH Clock Layering Stencil with Distress Ink and a Blending Tool.
- Embellish project as desired. This card has lots of Idea-ology accents (the Filmstrip, Chain, Corner, Brads, Chit Chat Words) and some others that were in my stash (Watch, Clock Faces, Watch Parts).

Hi Cathy. Your vintage card is wonderful! I love your ink blended embossed background using the clock faces embossing folder. The elements you’ve added on top: the pocket watch, Tim’s filmstrip ribbon, the other little gears along with the sentiment really work well together. Thanks so much for sharing your card with us at A Vintage Journey. <3 Candy
