I made this birthday card for a dear friend of ours who celebrates his birthday in May. I started with an Island Blue Card base, adding some stenciling with a GMD weave stencil and white craft ink. The clock is by Impression Obsession, die cut in pale grey and black. I also cut a larger black circle with a MFT stitched circle die for the mat. I die-cut the clock hands with a snippet of gold glitter paper, adding some tiny circle bits randomly on the card for a little extra sparkle. The sentiment is pre-printed from SSS and matted with black.
I'm sharing this with these challenges:
Dies R Us Challenge #168- A/G using dies sold in their store (the I.O. clock)
Seize the Birthday #213 - A/G optional "furry friends"
STAMPlorations May Stencil Challenge - use a stencil
Thanks so much for stopping by and I wish you all a fantastic weekend!

You always have very good ideas for masculine cards and this one is so pretty with the gorgeous clock with the gold hands and the contrasting background!
So clever using a white ink with the weave stencil to soften the blue!
Surely your friend will love his birthday card!
