I always struggle with gifts for my Dad as he gives no clues and what do you get the man who has everything... so this year I decided to create a frame for him on the theme of his addiction. That addiction is CLOCKS. I don't think I have ever known a man who has to buy a clock everywhere he goes. If it's a bargain...then he's even happier... and if it sings, dances, displays the weather and has a radio too... he's like a boy with a new toy...lol
So this clock may not work... but it was made with love :D
He doesn't resemble the man in my frame.... but Father 'Time' is a fitting title for him...lol
I used number and letter stamps from Fiskars for the title and numerals. The man and clock stamps are Crafty Individuals.
I love this little compartment frame...also from Crafty Individuals... my stamped images fit so well in there and the chipboard clock hands that I found in my stash came in really handy...pardon the pun.
The frame was a white one from Ikea... which I sanded slightly before adding distress inks and distress crackle.
Hope he likes it :D
