Hi Folks
Hope you are all well and having a good weekend. Looks like we might be in for a good day here, the sun is shining already. Might even get something done in the garden, unless I get a better offer lol.
Today's card is one I was asked to make for a gentleman who was going to be 70. Here is what I came up with.
The main image is a stencil that I purchased at Ally Pally earlier in the year. I used my Imagination Crafts sparkle medium through it. Now a little tip for you, I was going to use just silver sparkle medium but felt it was a bit too bright for this image so I just mixed a little bit of silver with some antique bronze. Voila, just perfect. The background paper is from Papermania (chronology collection). I added some black ribbon down the side and for embellishments used a clock charm and some cogs. The lettering and numbers are some die cuts that I have had for about two years but seemed to fit perfectly on this card.
Thanks for popping by and would love to hear what you think.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

what a cool card Mags - love that stencil - not seen that before xx
A great card Mags, I'm sure this gentleman will like this card, especially as it was made just for him. One thing is for sure - he won't receive another card the same as this one ! as so often happens, my Mum- in- law received four cards, all the same on her 90th. birthday! Hugs xx
Brilliant card Mags, I love the clocks and the charm.
