I love vintage timepieces and this month's release of Pocket Watches and the new mini Take Time are no exception.  After stamping my images in chocolate ink onto corn husk paper then stippling some Tim Holtz tea dye distress ink on the edges, I layered both sets of images onto some mahogany and kraft card stock before distressing the edges with a fingernail, adding brads, and some vintage clock faces before lightly stippling some Tim Holtz corduroy distress ink over the stamped images to age them a bit more.  My entire project took approximately 10min to make.

Thanks for stopping by today.  Have a great day and don't forget to stop by the rest of the design team blogs to leave some love for a chance to win today's featured set.
