A Time to Reflect!

A Time to Reflect!

For this card I have used the lovely Edgar stamp from Visible Image, I stamped him with a distress ink but didn't colour him in as I wanted him to look a bit 'vintage'.  I have had these chipboard pocket watches for ages so thought it was a good time to use them.  I double embossed the watch face to give a glass/vintage look to it.  My background papers are from Kanban and the gold embossed watches are an embossing folder by Sizzix.

I would like to enter this card into the Visible Image Challenge 'A Time to Reflect'

This is my Midway Inspiration card for the challenge 'Button Up' over at DCC & Friends.
I started with a white 8x8 scalloped edged card which I inked and coloured with my Distress Inks.  Background is from  First Edition Summer Breeze and my trusty Spellbinder Dies for the sewing machine, dummy, thimble, cotton reel and 'material'.  The buttons and scissors and metal sewing machine are from my 'stash'.  If you have not already entered our challenge you still have time to do so.  http://www.dccfriendschallenges.net/

Hi there, here is another card I have made for a 'special' Facebook Friend's birthday!  I do love the effect of a monochrome card and as usual my dies have played their part in making this card!

I would like to enter this card in the PCJ Challenge #5 Embellish It

Time for another Challenge over at DCC & Friends http://www.dccfriendschallenges.net/and this months Challenge is Christmas and our sponsors this month are Visible Image.  Look at the wonderful prize on offer from them, £35 worth of lovely stamps.

For my design card I have used one of the lovely new stamps from Visible Image, Merry Christmas.  I stamped onto black card with Flitterglu and then covered the image with a mixture of gold leaf.  I then mounted this onto gold and black card.  I found some lovely gold and black gift wrap ribbon which I thought would go nicely with the gold leaf and wrapped this round the card with a nice bow at the side.
