My Altered Clock

I really didn't like my boring plain clock that I bought from Ikea, so I decided to make something a little prettier that could go on my scrapbooking room wall.
To make the clock I took some Caprice paper and adhered it to the base of the clock using decoupage glue. Smooth the paper out and let dry for a while. Then I stamped the numbers from the Homestead alphabet using Crystal Blue and Honey Inks. I cut them out and mounted them on some Colonial White cardstock and trimmed a little border around them. After the paper was dry, I stuck the letters on and put the hands back on the clock. Voila, a much nicer looking clock to look at.
