Steampunk Chunky ATC

My version of the Chunky ATC. I used Graphic 45 Steampunk Debutante Paper to cover front, sides, and back of wood block.  All of the embellishments used are Tim Holtz. I used the clock face and game spinner as well as several of the gears and foliage metal flowers and the top is a Tim Holtz Curio Knob. The bead tassel is made using a Vintaj metal bead cap, eye pin and copper chain.  The wood feet are finial caps from Hobby Lobby. I cut the wood block myself. All other products were purchased from StampsAlive. (link at right)
