The Frilly and Funkie Challenge for August 12, 2015 asks us to use stitching somewhere on our vintage or shabby chic projects (real or faux will do) and also a timepiece too!
I was thinking, “A Stitch in Time Saves Nine” but I didn’t have exactly the right stamps, papers or stencils to say this so I improvised!
First, I blended “Vintage Photo” Distress Ink onto ivory card stock through Tim Holtz’ “Clockwork” stencil (THS 013).

The I stamped the “Roman Clock” (Deep Red 3x404237) and a sentiment from the Indigo Blu “Enjoy Life” stamp set (EJ1) in Archival “Jet Black” ink.
Finally, I trimmed a piece of beige card for a card front and stamped a stitch/cut line from the Indigo Blu stamp set “In Stitches” (IS):
I then assembled the various pieces using machine stitching in white thread (too lazy to change the thread on my machine), foam dots (under the clock and the sentiment) and a charm as a clock pendulum (a spool of silk cord from the Vintage Sewing Charms” freebies form Cardmaking magazine):
