I bought this Tim Holtz Picture Wheel die a while ago with the idea of being able to turn it into a clock when I wanted. Today was the day. I cut the Picture Wheel in turquoise card stock. I designed the clock graphic and printed it on vellum. I clear embossed the numbers when the printer ink was still wet. I had to be really fast. I cut a 2 inch circle from the center of the vellum to put in the center on the turquoise piece. I cut the clock hands with the Cricut and the Grahically Speaking cartridge big one at 4 inches and smaller one at 3.25 inches. I adhered the turquoise to the vellum ensuring the numbers were aligned. I selected a coral card. I printed one of my alcohol ink backgrounds from this session onto the front of the card to add a bit of texture. I rubbed the edges of the card with a turquoise ink pad. I adhered the clock face to the card. The vellum circle and the hands were added next with a tiny black brad. I cut the word TIME with the Stampin Up Little Letter thin lits in the turquoise card stock and flagged the right hand side. I then layered it onto black card stock and trimmed around it leaving a tiny border. This was adhered to the left hand side near the card edge. I added the word flies by hand by printing the word onto a piece of paper and then tracing it onto the card with a black pen and the help of a light table. Super happy with the card.

Challenge - Retro Clock
I printed the retro clock image on vellum with the greeting. This clock has only the 4 quadrant numbers visible and just lines for the other numbers. The angular hands are in keeping with the design.
I cut the vellum with my Creative Memories oval cutter then I cut the large black oval frame by using a step larger for the first cut then the same size as the vellum oval for the second cut creating the narrow frame. I mounted these on a bright green card which I thinks keeps with the retro vibe. The vellum is held in place with a tiny black brad in the center of the clock and vellum adhesive behind the greeting.

Card Challenge - Clock
Still another card for the CST Home Page Card Challenge. It was to include a clock on the card. I found some images of clock faces on line and printed them on vellum along with a greeting.
The clock face is vintage and the hands are just about the same size so a little harder to read the time.
This is a black card with script background designer paper. The colors worked but the greeting gets lost in the background. I punched the corners with my corner rounder. I added some definition to the hands from the back side of the vellum with a fine black marker to help with the readability of the time. Again a tiny black brad in the centre of the clock and some vellum adhesive behind the greeting.

Challenge - Pink Clock
Here's another card for the Home Card challenge at CST which is a card with a clock on it. I printed them on vellum.
This clock has the circle separated into wedges of color for each number. The hands of the clock are black and quite dainty. It has red second hand.
For this card I chose a dark brown card with a red tone to it. I mounted a piece of salmon colored polka dot designer paper leaving a large border. I then cut the vellum to smaller than the DP so it would leave a border as well. I put a tiny black brad in the center of the clock and some vellum adhesive under the greeting.

Challenge - Card with clock
The Home Card challenge at CST is a card with a clock on it. I searched the web for some pretty clock faces and selected four. I placed them on a quarter sheet and added a greeting and printed them on vellum.
The one on the left here has roman numerals and some hints of blue on the background. I selected a turquoise card and added a warm yellow green designer paper with a pattern that was not too busy. I cut the designer paper to leave a good border of the blue and then trimmed the vellum to be smaller than the DP. I placed a tiny black brad in the center of the clock and some vellum adhesive under the greeting and the top of the clock.
