Hi everyone.
I just posted this yesterday night, and as luck would have it, I found out this morning the Paper Players has a theme challenge... Birthdays! I LOVE to play along when I can but this is a BUSY weekend and I likely will not have to time to do another. So I decided I would come back this morning to edit my post for the Paper Players "Birthdays" challenge {PP#62}. Hope that's okay!
This is a quick post to show the masculine vintage card I made for my friend on his 60th birthday. I used the stamp set "Sense of Time" because, for me anyway, when I recently turned the Big 6 0....TIME seemed to matter a little more. So here is my card.
The card base is crumb cake distressed (I'll just say now that I distressed everything!). with the spritzer and layered with cherry cobbler cs and wood pattern Well Worn DSP. I layered another piece of newsprint then I wrapped that entire mat with piece of wide striped ribbon, frayed one side then tied at the top with trimmed edge scrap.
I glazed the 'watch' with crystal effects (let it dry overnight) and added a antique brad to the center. Now if you look really close you'll see I used an old broken necklace as the watch chain...too funny, eh? I clipped the clasp on the sentiment tag from the same set then popped it up with dimensionals.
I added a few gears made from the Cogs punch, and sprinkled a few inside too.
Here's a peek at the inside with touches from the front.
Now to finish the envelope with a hint of what is in inside.
DONE!
