For the sketch today, I chose to use Kraft/Black/Charcoal as my colors and went from there.
All images and inks are available from Rubbernecker Stamp Co. in the Stamp Oasis section.
The Baroque background and French Letter were stamped with a Castaway pad. It works kind of like bleach but with a crisper more defined image. Once the image is stamped, you set it aside so the ink absorbs into the paper. Then, you iron it to reveal the image. Cool Huh? The time collage was stamped with Tim Holtz distress ink/Soot Black and sponged on the edges. The charcoal layer was stamped w/ soot and the baroque background as well. The bookplate was distressed with Stazon Black and the numbers were filled in with a black copic marker. I filled the center of the bookplate with teeny watch parts.

I loved today's sketch, thanks Roxie for coming through even when faced with an emergency at home.

Shel, you've outdone yourself once again. Such a beautiful collage, I love the time theme. Great use of the watch chain and brass watch face. I really like your color choices for this. Your stamped bg's are beautifully done, so soft. You rock when it comes to doing collages.
