CC#3 Challenge #10 Assemblage Clock is  found on page33 ... you know the drill ( if not ... I cannot give you any instructions ( neither can anybody else) you MUST purchase your own book ... so get your book follow along...
I have a funny story ... what you are about to see is not the clock I had planned ... same color but different design... WHAT ?? I painted my clock worked on all the components and all sorts of mishaps occurred... I was so frustrated I went with Plan B and to add insult to injury when I misted my clock I went to move it and the box I misted it in fell apart and the clock hit the floor ... you guessed it... the glass cracked !  It took me a few hours to recover but I'm fine now :)





I painted my clock with broken china crackle paint ( going for the vintage look) and I highlighted it with antique gold perfect pearls mist. For my inside I used Wallflower Paper Stash ( Tim Holtz) and
Butterfly Garden (Pink Paislee). I colorized my crinkle ribbon with broken china, tumble glass and weathered wood distress inks




I embellished my clock with baubles and pearls ( Tim Holtz) and butterfly pin (Pink Paislee); added lace from my Queendom stash.





Hope you enjoyed a view of my clock.  I do hope you visit the Crew also check out the CC3 Challenge Community there are some amazing clocks out there !
Come back and see me again !

  5. Rea...I enjoyed reading your story about the "birth" of your clock. You may have had some mishaps...but your clock turned out beautifully. I love the color! Broken China is such a lovely color and your cracked look with the touches of gold Perfect Pearls is so pretty. I love the feminine, shabby chic quality of your clock. The little pearls and baubles really give the feminine touch. I also love your mix of Tims Wallflower and the Pink Paislee papers. I remember that Pink Paislee collection. I loved it and still have some hoarded sheets of it. :) You did a beautiful job. Thanks for sharing with all of us at CC3C. <3 Candy

  6. Your clock is beautiful Rea' - I think we all had mishaps along the way but your nature scene is lovely, the fairies are beautiful and just add a air of mystery and the Broken China Crackle Painted exterior is just fabulous. I love it! Anne x

    1. Thank you Redanne , my fairies where my ray of sunshine ... I actually got tickled as I added them ... I thought no one would get it and would wonder why fairies ?! The one on the front was fussy cut and her body was added to the dimensional butterfly( wasn't sure it would work ... but it did) !
