More Numbers.

It's the 2nd week of

my Butterfly Challenge

and the theme is

#41 Butterflies + N is for Numbers.

Here is some more inpsiration for you.

I have made this card using  embossing folders

by Sizzix called Textured Impressions 657671

Sewing and measuring  tape set.

Base is  a scalloped card blank.

The pretty paper was a magazine freebie

and came from a pack called Simply British.

I embossed a piece of blue pearescent card

and a pink pastel card and then layered them onto

contrasting coloured card stock.

Sentiments were cut from a ribbon in my stash.

The oddment of cream lace and the cream ribbon

were oddments lying  on my desk. 

Pearls from my stash.

Next up is a clock

I suddenly remembered I had this clock face in my stash

and had a light bulb moment

Clock = Numbers.

Simples.

I forgot to take a before photo of the clock

but here is a link to where I bought it from.

Unfortunately they are out of stock but you can see

the bare base that I started with.

I  covered both the rim which is a seperate piece

and the clock base with a sheet of Decoupage rice paper

(which was covered with small butterflies) 

torn into small pieces and glued using PVA paste.

When it had dried I wasn't happy with clock face.

It looked too fussy and the numbers would not have shown

up very well so I painted over with a tester pot

of paint called Natural Hessian. 

I was happy with the rim so it just had a watered down 

coat of the same paint to give it  a worn look.

Luckily I had another sheet of rice paper with the butterflies 

in a slightly larger format so I fussy cut 3 of them out

and glued to the face when the paint had dried.

Again I coated them with the watered down paint.

The numbers are  pearlised sticky foam which

came from a set of numbers and alphabet in assorted colours.

The kit came with instructions on how to assemble

and all it needed was a 1.5 v battery.

It has now been happily ticking away on my desk

for the last 2 hours and miracle of miracles

is keeping perfect time. 

How the heck did I manage that!!
