CC2C #9-Pocket Watch

We are already on week #9 of the Compendium of Curiosities Challenge over at Linda's Sudio L3! And this week, from Tim Holtz's fab book, we are on Page 35, and using his Pocket Watch... How Fun! And to spice things up, Simon Says Stamp is the sponsor, offering a Gift Certificate to one lucky recipient! 
So, you know the rules, you need to go get Tim's book to get the details. I used his Chit-chat words, a Prima Flower, and some micro beads and gilded mica flakes to add texture.  A cool ribbon and a key charm, and done! You can't see the background paper, but it is a piece of his craft resist, with peeled paint distress stain; which I thought was too dark when I did it, but evened out nicely.
Very fun! I now I've seen pocket watch display stands somewhere; I think it will look great on my desk at work. 

Now, I've posted early, for a change, so if you don't know about the wonderful challenge, you still have plenty of time to get involved! There's a new challenge every Friday.  Jump on in! Have a great week everyone.

  5. Wonderful job on the pocket watch, Kim! Those colors are great-- I love the teal with the antiqued metal-- and the tiny beads are a brilliant touch. Well done!
