Today was my last trip to Ikea to get some more of these absolutely wonderful glass jars for all my embellies. It'll be like an apothcary/candy store :) Siiigh... being able to see what I got is so so soooo fun! I also grabbed this jar for tidbits of ribbon so they can be handy, visible and cute.
So today, I've altered the Rusch clock from Ikea - at $2.99 + a $0.33 sheet of patterened paper, some scrap white that I rolled through my QK Revolution using my Finale alphabet and it's the cutest clock a girl ever had!!
Here's what I did:
Took it all apart - it easy pretty easy, paying attention tot he way the minute/second hand attached for reassembly later.
Used the clock face paper template to cut out my water paper background. Have I mentioned recently how much I looove these scissors?! I touched up some bad cutting with Copic markers to hide the white, and used my finger knife to cut out the center circle.
Then I airbrushed the plastic clock frame.
And stamped a totally unknown stamp randomly using stazon ink straight on with my hand as the base so I could curve it.
Then I cut out my numbers using my QK Revolution and the Finale alphabet
*SPOILER* you can see my peg board in the background ;)
Stuck on the numbers using reposition able tape and my zig pen glue
And there we have it, all the tools used
(+QK Revolutionand alpha)
I've submitted this for the Copic Challenge#27 - using Copics on other surfaces too - yay, don't I looove me a challenge!!
