Scrapbook Sisters Card Challenge 8 - Tick Tock

It's Wednesday (still, just!!) and that means the Scrapbook Sisters card challenge.  This week the theme is Tick Tock...

I chose to interpret the theme by including a clock, and for this my Mo Manning digi stamp seemed perfect to accompany the stamped clock face.

The photos are awful - so sorry, the light has gone by the time I get home and isn't bright enough before I leave for work and my camera flash really stuggles with anything shiny or reflective!

I love this rabbit, just want to give him a hug and tell him it'll be ok :-)  He's coloured with copics, and a touch of glossy accents on his pocket watch

The clock face and sentiment are by Sandylion, bought from Scrapbook Sisters last year.  I stamped the clock in Versamark and sprinkled with copper embossing powder, then distressed it with copper and brown inks before going all over with more versamark and clear embossing powder.  I saw something on the telly the other day about heating your embossing powder from the back for a more even finish (and for me, no burn marks!!) and OMG, it works!!

I've seen a few flowers done like this now and they looked really effective, so gave it a go, I'm not sure I have quite perfected the art yet, but not bad for a first attempt!

Supplies:

From Scrapbook Sisters: Light Tan and Duckegg Bazzill; Happy together papers by Fancy Pants; Sandilion Clock stamp and sentiment; Brown velvet ribbon; Copics; Glossy Accents; Versamark; Copper and Clear embossing Powders; assorted brown/copper inkpads

Other: Mo Manning Image; Duck Egg Pearls; Satin Ribbon; Gem Brad

Looking forward to seeing how you interpret this challenge

I'm Late!!!

Hi!  Hope you're having a great day!

Today's pics are of a card I made last night and I love this one, the image is just sooo cute!

Without futher ado, here it is :-)

Isn't he adorable!  I just love his hang-dog (hang-rabbit???) expression!  I looked at this image and thought he'd be perfect for a belated birthday card - despite having a box full I always seem to be late in posting cards, naughty me :-), so I probably should make a whole host of these.   The only trouble was I don't have a "I'm sorry I'm an idiot and forgot your birthday" stamp, so had to make my own up with a clear alphabet

The papers are all from my hoard (stash is no longer appropriate...) as I'm trying to be good and use some stuff up!  The white strip at the bottom has been run through the Cuttlebug I have had on long tem loan from Debra - on the basis that she was moving and doing a house up and it would be "safer" with me :-).  The clock face and hands were stamped onto white card using brown Stazon and distressed with Distress Inks.

I've used a gold pen on his pocket watch and chain and Glossy Accents on the glass

I'm entering this card for Cupcake Craft Number 97 (sketch),  Allsorts Challenge 58 (embossing), The Crafty Pad Challenge 77 (embossing), Mo's Digital Challenge (anything goes) and the Crafty Catz Weekly Challenge (digi stamps)
