Clocks Bday card

Created this Clocks Birthday Card for a man.

Used sketch at Die Cuttin Divas. Limit is 3 and I entered 2 earlier so this makes 3rd. I turned the sketch 90 degrees to the right.

Used Kraft cardstock as base, off-white Kraft cardstock for layer, DCWV Clocks scrapbook paper for layer, more Kraft cardstock for layer, dark brown Kraft cardstock for sentiment tag and off-white Kraft cardstock for sentiment tag.

Used Tim Holtz Clock embossing folder from the Steampunk Set. Sanded, distressed edges, misted the embossed area with water and used Distress Ink on embossing & edges.

Used Spellbinder Standard Circles for sentiment tag (had to get a die in there for Die Cuttin Divas sketch entry) & Fiskars punch mat. Used Hero Arts stamp for sentiment. 

Added 5 mini gold brads for metal to complete the sketch.

If you've not noticed by now I like to make the photo setting compliment the card. I've had the red clock for quite some time and it can be wound up with a key and it runs on a battery.
 




brads: Craft Essentials 5 gold round mini
ink: Memento Rich Cocoa
paper: cardstock - Kraft base, Kraft off-white layer, DCWV Clocks scrapbook paper layer, Kraft layer, Kraft dk brown sentiment tag
punch: Fiskars circle punch - sentiment tag
Spellbinder: Shape Standard Circles - sentiment mat
