Today is the begin of a new challenge over at the Cheerful Stamp Pad - *Time for the Queen's Tea*. For my DT piece I have altered a little clock. I bought a supply of these clocks some time back at the 1€ shop, which is a good price for a working clock. I took off the hands and pulled off the face (sounds rather brutal!), cut a new circle of paper for the face, and stamped it with some Artemio London stamps. The crown has been
* bejeweled* with some liquid pearls. I added a red ribbon with red and white roses, put the hands back on, and now it is ticking merrily away on my kitchen wall.
Have a good day you all, take care, and thanks for visiting!
A British tea-time clock - lovely. I hope it makes the tea for you at 4 o'clock! Hugs, Sarah
