I began by creating a background using a piece of acetate with peeled paint and uncharted mariner distress ink.
I began by smooshing one if the inks onto the acetate and spritzing with water. I allowed the ink to form small pools, then tapped it onto my puece of card several times. I left this to dry, then repeated with the second colour. This was left to dry completely.
Next I stamped the A Stitch in Time stamp with versamark ink centrally on the background. I sprinkled with black embossing powder and heat set.
Next I very carefully inked, with versafine clair nocturne ink, a small portion of the crackle background stamp and stamped it over the face of the pocket watch.
Then I inked up the left hand side of the ledger stamp (the left when stamped) with versafine clair nocturne. I stamped this on the bottom left of the a stitch in time image, overlapping it slightly. I repeated this process but inking up the right hand side of the image and stamping top right of the card.
Next I added three of the numbers stamps using nocturne ink.
Then I added the same stitched border, that is in the main image, to all four corners. I also added some hearts and scribbled circles from the journal art elements 3 stamp set.
Next I stamped three butterflies, the nibs and some stars on a seperate piece of card and cut them out.
I then stamped a sentiment, cut it out and edged with a black pen.
Finally I mounted the background onto a piece of black card, then a card blank. I glued the butterflies, stars, nibs and sentiment to the background.
