Tims Clock Face

Good morning to you all, well this is my very last Christmas card apart from a couple of DT ones. No images on this card I treated myself to Tims clock die yesterday,every time I went to the shop they never had it so I never pushed to get it till yesterday, yes they had it in stock.

Tim would probably shake in his boots if he saw all the glitter on it !!!!!!! but what the heck. As you can see I have used a few dies all white and a pop of red.The backing paper is from Raspberry Road.
I could see this in my head when I was doing it and am really made up with the way it has turned out. This is destined to go to my Daughter and Son in Law, I think she will like it.I hope you do to.xxx

Hello to all you lovely people, I am still having trouble trying to see the people I am following, I am begining to think it might be Internet Explorer more than Blogger. Might have to try downloading Google Chrome !!!!!
Anyway My card share today was a lot of fun to make (nice inky fingers) the stamps I used for this are from Kaiser called "The Secret Bird Society) inked up with walnut stain.
I have used a labels 7 for the book pages and done a bit of masking for both images. The backing paper is an old K & Co 12 x12 stack distressed with Walnut stain and the bird cage and bird is a Tim Holtz die. I really loved doing this and it is going to take forever to get the ink off my fingers. I do hope you like it.
