1. Cut Kraft Glassine in half to measure 4 x 5 inches. Emboss with Blueprint Texture Fade. Distress the outer edges by curling and bending with your fingernail. Lightly rub Chipped Sapphire Distress Paint over raised edges with your finger. Let dry. |
 |
2. Cut a piece of Brown Kraft Core cardstock 4-3/4 x 6 3/4 and sand the outer edges lightly to reveal kraft core. Cut a blue piece of Kraft Core Cardstock 1 1/2 x 4, sand to reveal kraft core. Stamp Artful Tools image with Archival Black ink onto blue cardstock. Add 8 piece of tissue tape along left edge of card front, wrapping excess around to the back side. Rub Walnut Stain Ink with a Blending Tool and Foam over the surface of the tissue tape. |

3. Adhere blue piece to brown piece. Ink edges with Black Soot Distress Ink. |

4. Using the tiny attacher, adhere the embossed kraft glassine to the card front, above the blue piece, then distress the top by rubbing Black Soot Distress Ink over the raised areas. |

5. From Grungeboard, cut the mini alarm clock, two gears, and a key. Paint the clock with Brushed Pewter Distress Paint, the larger gear with Antiqued Bronze Distress Paint, and the smaller gear and the key with Tarnished Brass Distress Paint. Let dry. |

6. Distress the tops of each grungeboard piece with Black Soot Distress ink. |
