Another Jumbo Clothespin/Recipe Card Holder: "Time 2 Cook"

This one's for me!  My kitchen has earth tones in it:  taupe, khaki, black, brown, beige.  My granite counters are a speckled pattern with all of those colors.  And then I accent here and there with a subtle, muted orange color.  This matches perfectly, although you really can't tell from the picture...natural light made it look too yellow, the flash made it look like "Halloween Orange".

I covered it with a white paper that had a black flourish pattern.  Since I don't have white in my kitchen, I used a soft creamy brown chalk ink and rubbed it over the entire piece, which turned it into a soft, muted brown.  I added a strip of black cardstock and then cut "time" and "cook" from the FMK cartridge.  I modge-podged over all of the paper portion of the project.  Finally, I added a clock face matted with two orange flowers and then used the Street Sign cartridge to cut arrows for the clock hands.  I glued the hands in the 2 o'clock position....Time "2" Cook!!!  TFL!  :)

I'd love to see a picture of your kitchen! I never would have thought about those colors in a kitchen!
