Time Keepers Swap

Criteria
Create three original artist trading cards inspired by time. Start by pulling together materials you already have that fit the theme like items that show time or the passing of time: clocks, pocket watches, watches, sundials, hourglass, pendulums, the inner gears of clocks, clock towers, calendars, bells (arrival of time), etc. Also look for other types of materials that show time that you can use: rubber stamps, rub-ons, washis, stencils, etc.
Consider developing a unique character for each card as your “Time Keeper.” Your character could be quirky, whimsical, sweet, brilliant, powerful, eccentric, funny, human/animal/alien or robot (check your stash for unique characters that would lend themselves well to this to get your creativity going), etc. This character will be your fictional “Time Keeper” so feel free to embellish your character with personality clues on the character themselves or in the background. Try to keep most of your characters as positive portrayals of time. If you run out of ideas, you can include one ‘dark’ card portrayal of time (example: Death as a Timekeeper). 

I like the way this criteria is written out, suggestions like this are always constructive.

I made a Masterboard background using browns, golds Distress Inks through various stencils onto a sheet of printed paper.  I printed all my images from my files and went to work.

This print is from Dover and altered to fit the base card.  I just added some inks randomly.

 I fussy cut this image and attached it to the base card, when dry adding some ink to the clock face.

I love this image, again I fussy cut it out and attached it to the base card.  Once it was dry I added some pencil shading to various parts of the image and also some distress ink.

I used some distress ink through a brick stencil for this card and added some lines with a black felt pen.

All the cards have a sentiment from TH book added afterwards.




These are the cards I have received back:
