Timeless love

The snow here is a great excuse to stay indoors and craft. It also means that I can catch up on my blogging too. I was asked to make a Valentine's card recently for a work colleague for her other half. So nothing too girly but still romantic. Here's the design I cam up with.

I used Kraft card stock as the base and started by decopatching a serviette of a musical score onto the background and left it to one side to dry. I then set to work with my sizzix and embossed a piece of brown paper using the new Papermania chronology triboss clocks folder. I then used Ranger Tim Holtz distress ink in tumbled glass to add colour to the surface I then mounted this onto blue glitter paper and trimmed it to leave a narrow border.. I also die cut the clock face and hands using a Marianne die and the lacty  border to the hearts were cut using a Cheery Lynne Celtic heart die. Finally the letters were cut from blue card stock using a x-cut letters die.

Once my base card was dry I added a panel in blue card stock which was then overlaid using brown glitter card and blue metallic mesh a blue ribbon and mall bow were wrapped around the bottom of this panel.. I also added a small strip if the blue card stock at the top of the card. The embossed panel was added at an angle. and then the clock added. before the words were arranged across the card once stuck down I coated the letters in a layer of stickles iridescent glitter glue.

I added the clock face at the top left and then arranged the three hearts from a topper sheet by Kanban to the right hand side.

I lined the inside of the card with script paper that I had printed from a MCS CD and added more clocks and hearts leaving the large heart on the right side for my colleague to add her own personal message to her loved one.

I am entering this into the following challenge
