Caardvarks Challenge 3-D - Dad Clock

My 3-D Dad Clock!
(click to enlarge)
For the Caardvark's Challenge
And Father's Day
And, a Class!
(Yep. I am teaching a class!)


The Naked Pieces

Painted Parts
I painted everything first
Note To Self:If I do it again,
I will leave the DAD painted, w/o patterned paper
and just cover the back panel with paper.
I really liked the brown!

A Side View
See? 3-D!!
It has length, width, height
and depth, baby..


This afternoon I finally got a project done that has been on my 'For Dad's Day' list and which fit perfectly for the current Caardvarks 3D challenge!

Oh, I love it when that happens...

I made a clock!

The project took me a total of 3 hours, which is very generous considering I also:
  • Typed Instructions as I went (I am actually teaching others to make this on Saturday!)
  • Took photos of the process
  • Spent time finding 'daddy' photos in PSE6, and experimenting with different sizes, and of course messing a few up when I cut them!
  • Painting parts, and covering the papers with Mod Podge.
I'm thinking I will ink the paper edges as well. It's looking a little plain to me...

Now, I did make one of these previously, w/o photos, paint or mod podge. That one took one hour! So, there are options for the students.

Thanks for looking!

Supplies:
KaiserCraft Dad Clock Kit
Patterned papers and stickers from Karen Foster Design
Buttons, Ribbons, Basic Grey, other stash
PLAID Craft Paint
Mod Podge
