It has been a long time since I've made a mixed media card. Felt inspired to do it today. I have had so many of these items for so long, it really felt good to finally use some of them. You can't really see them, but there are actually 3 layers here all embossed with different embossing folders. I then sponged some brown teal and orange on each, sprayed them all individually using 2 different colors of spray. I have 3 different brads on th3e card (lower left and upper left [keyhole] and then the center of the metal clock). I used some Perfect Pearls on the 4 cogs (two different colors). The mustache in the upper right corner is a plastic knick knacks from The Paper Shelter. The metal w/chain piece that has the sentiment on it ws from a set that came with 5 different sentiments. The camera I've had for a long time. I'm not sure exactly where I got it other than the fact that it was a charm on a bracelet. The sun and wooden bead were from an earring that was missing its partner. I got the man image from an old website that used to have all sorts of free vintage images. I added some twine and some hemp twine. Oh, I almost forgot the stenciling I did. I used an old Tim Holtz Alterations die called Weathered Clock, cut out a piece I was originally going to add to the card, then got inspired to use it as a stencil instead. I think that covers everything on here. LOL Here is my creation:
