Welcome to the Everything ABC's Blog Hop!
For this hop we are featuring the letter V. This may be the name of a paper, a stamp set, an embellishment or a style. Whatever the crafter has chosen as their V element will be featured in their post.
If you came from Catherine Nowak at Catscrapbooking then you're on the right track!
__________________________________________________
I confess that the letter V is not an easy letter to use for inspiration. I came up with VINTAGE.
So I took this vintage clock stamp set available for purchase by hostesses, and used a VARIETY of brown tones to give a sepia feel - just like in old photos. I used colonial, cashmere, champagne and chocolate cardstocks. But then I added some gears and a face to the clock and made an easel card for something different.

| Easel Card |
And here is what the card looks like open
 |
| Inside |
Colonial White: 10 1/2" x 4 1/4", score at 5 1/4" and at 7.7/8"
Yuletide patterned paper: 2 5/8" x 4 1/4"
Bronze shimmer tape: 4 1/4"
Cricut Artiste: Gears cut out of Cashmere
Sentiments stamped in chocolate
In fact I made a set of these cards as part of a swap with other local CTMH consultants.

| Swap-ready |
To make the front
Chocolate mat 5 1/4" x 4 1/4"
Colonial 5"x 4", embossed with quaterfoil folder
Cricut Artiste: Clock base, clock face, clock hands and gear
Stamp mustache and eyeglasses
Bronze shimmer trim at edge 5 1/4"
TIP
Swipe you ink pad across the embossing folder before running it through the machine for added dimension.
Use liquid glass in the spectacles, it will dry clear gloss - helps makes it look more realistic.

| Side view |
TIP
Pop up the gears to give the card front something to rest on.
