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!
