Day 28

Well last night I went to Lily's new Secondary School to meet her tutor, pick out her uniform and walk away with a very very light pocket!!!

I cannot believe she has grown up so much; it brings a lump to my throat as she will be spreading her wings without her mum soon!... Oh goodness me. However, she is a beautiful girl, inside and out and I need to remember I am a lucky Mum.  

But on a lighter note, I am working on Christmas!  To be honest I have been working on Christmas since last Christmas. Ha Ha!

I am desperate to share so much with you but I am sworn to secrecy for 6 weeks! OMG How will I cope!

So sorry to say I can tell you nothing.......

So here is a card instead  :)

This was created with my Circles of Time stamps, and also my cogs Pop-ems.https://www.thatcraftplaceuk.com/ourshop/prod_6086120-Cogs-Popems.html

I took a 6x6 hammered card blank and I masked off a section right at the bottom of the page.

I left about a 1.5 inch space then  masked another section.

I took one of the stamps and stamped in the gap between the masking tape in 

Chrome Yellow and Venetian Orange Archival Ink.  I removed the tape and you can see this fabulous border.

Just above that border I stamped the clock from the set in a mix of the 2 archival colours.

I stamped off the page, which is one of my signature "things".  I think you can create great balance this way.

I used some white sparkling embossing powders to cover the Pop ems and layered them up as seen on the photo.

I then took a stamp from the same set, to stamp good time, and another stamp to create the clock hands.  I cut the hands out leaving a white edge. When I glued them on I raised them slightly for more dimension.

I then popped on some sequins to add balance.

I love this card.

Hope you do too.
