Hi! I altered the clock. I've never done this before. This is new for me. Then I decided to use this clock as a photo portrait frame. I painted the clock with several acrylics paints to achieve the weathered look (Tim Holtz technique). I used the sticker with an old photo from the Lost and Found Tim Holtz collection which I framed with industrial Tim Holtz frame. The crown ( Tim Holtz winged heart die) is cowered with Tarnished Brass distress stain. I cowered the pen nib with the rust powder (Craftynotions). I used several alcohol inks for the key. The enameled plate is from my stash as well as the post card charm which I also coated with alcohol inks. The canvas heart is Tim Holtz die and the Eiffel Tower is actually the key chain souvenir from Paris.
Gorgeous altered clock! Love the weathered look it has!!

What a fantastic finish you have achieved on your clock and I love all your detail on the inside and can see how it depicts a story of a young couple in love building memories in Paris. How lovely. Thanks for joining in the challenge at AVJ and good luck.
