Hi everyone. Happy Sunday to you. I hope you're having a lovely weekend.
Today I want to share another art journal page for Wendy's Moment in Time challenge at Art Journal Journey. I am also linking a it up to Gillena's Sunday Smiles.
I started this page quite a while back. Not with this theme, but when I have extra paint left over on my palette I like to randomly paint with it on a blank journal page so I don't waste the paint. That meant I ended up having this background in my journal which I thought had potential. I first toned it down a little bit with some watered down white paint. Then I used this old pocket watch shape Tim Holtz die. I cut out the shape twice, the first time in black paper and the second using a piece of acetate.
I then used a freebie number strip die I received when I recently bought a few marked down things from Frantic Stamper. ( She's retiring and closing up shop, and although I think some items could be discounted more, she does have some hard to find or no longer made items.)
I cut the numbers 0-9 twice with white paper. I took the numbers and glued them down randomly on the black paper where the clock face would be. Then I took some white glitter glue (Stickles) and rubbed it lightly over the numbers and the whole inside of the clock face area. After that I took the acetate die cut of the image, snipped off the top and glued the round clock face down over black and numbered clock face area.
Finally I used an old set of Technique Tuesday stamps I have. I stamped the big circle words in purple ink, and the tick-tock phrase and the small circle words in black.
That's it for me today. Have a great rest of your weekend and start to the new week.
...Erika, be warm and well this week. Monday we will get measurable snow. 😢

That clock reflects my current relationship with time--LOL--I'm often trying to remember what day it is. And I'm reminded of that old Chicago song, Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is?
ReplyDeleteA very nice page ... I do like the colour purple.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the rest of your Sunday.
All the best Jan
The purple really makes the page pop. I hope that you have a great week ahead!
ReplyDeleteA great, creative, beautiful page on the topic!
ReplyDeleteHave a good week!

Delicious with the vegetables, it's something different, thanks for the recipe!
ReplyDeleteIt makes such a lovely winter decoration!
Have a nice day, hugs, Elke
Hi Erika, I love that purple too, and I like what you did with the pocketwatch and the number dies. I also like those circle words, they look great. Sad to hear another craft shop is closing down, I'd hope there would be good bargains too, not for me though, our import taxes are too much for me. Have a good week! xx
ReplyDeleteI use the left over paint on my palette in the same way, Erika.
ReplyDeleteI love your page! Great for Wendy's challenge at Art Journal Journey.
Hugs,
