Hello. Welcome. Posting a clock I altered for a friend. I enjoyed altering this clock so I thought I'd make another one as a present for Elin. She has horses. Actually she has these horses LOL
I used a photograph as my background. I painted the clock with blue acrylic behind and embossed the gold line around the edge of the clock with gold tinsel embossing powder. The numbers are from Rubber Dance Pick a Number set, stamped on paper coloured with the same blue acrylic and embossed with the gold tinsel embosssing powder. It has extra sparkle. I am pleased to report that you can heat emboss an IKEA plastic clock without melting the clock. Although it did take a lot of heating and did get quite warm. I originally intended to do more, but in this case I think less worked very well.

Beautiful clock, Gail! I'm sure your friend will love it!
Good to know that the IKEA clock can withstand the heating when embossing. I have one that could use some altering ...
Thank you for using my number stamps, they look really great on the clock!

That is just sensational. I love the line of gold embossing. Really makes it stand out & to use HER horses....fanatastic present!!
Lovely clock! I heat embossed a faux leather phone cover once, that didn't melt either (I had work in progress before I even came to think about it...) It's always great to make usable art :)
You are AMAZING 😊... What a lovely project. I would have never thought of this and I even have that clock! Thank you for sharing....(hugs)
