Hi everyone,
This is today's creation - one of the dreaded masculine cards I always find so difficult to do:
I seem to use the clock theme a lot lately for men's cards, especially when I have exhausted the sport theme relevant to them. With this one I used some Tim Holtz weathered clock diecuts to emboss into the dark brown card for a change, before cutting it out by hand and dusting with gold cosmic shimmer mica powder. The background paper is Hot Off the Press which I used vintage photo distress ink around the edges. The sentiment in the nestie labels frame is made using Wordle (I just played around until I got a design I liked - good fun if you have the time to play). The pocket watch stamp and little cogs are freebie ones from the latest Docrafts Creativity magazine cover. I used vintage photo distress ink to stamp them onto a strip of the background paper as a border.
Hope you are all keeping safe and warm in this snowy weather, we had about five inches fall yesterday, thought it was never going to stop!
This is fabulous. I really love the design and the colours are gorgeous
