i have to admit that when i saw the cue word my first thought was to use a clock.  but i don't have any clock images in my collection.  that left me with only one option... get outside my box and put my thinking cap on!   so i thought and thought some more... then i remembered that last week i had made a card for a splitcoaststampers challenge that used a lovely new stamp i had recently gotten from penny black.  the stamp is appropriately titled "time".   i had paired that stamp with another penny black stamp and used the emboss/resist technique for the card.  i decided to sort of recreate that card, but keeping this one more CAS than the other card.  i did this by stamping the sentiment in black ink, stamping the 2nd image over the top with versamark watermark ink, applied embossing powder and then heat set.  After that I applied Chipped Sapphire and Dusty Concord distress ink to the piece.  The final step was to die cut the image using a Spellbinders plain long rectangle die.  The finished piece was then adhered to the center of a white card base using foam dimensionals.   here is a close up shot of the sentiment... isn't it beautiful?  i just love so many of sentiments that you can get from penny black.
