I thought this card would be cute to give to my DH :) I made one of these tent cards several weeks ago and it was lots of fun so I decided to make another one--this one with MFT's What a Day set. The clock was cut out of some patterned paper from the At Home collection by DCWV--all of the patterned paper is from the same collection, actually. The sentiments are stamped on more patterned paper with Memento Rich Cocoa ink. To accommodate the clock, I had to cut the window out with my largest Classic Oval Nestabilities die and then there was no scalloped die large enough for "trim" around the oval. So, I scrunched up two rows of 3/8" twill around to dress up the opening a little--I tried one row and it looked too skimpy so I added another. I'm not entirely happy with that part but it is what it is ;-) The tent card technique was just perfect for this clock image--I love how it dangles in the opening. Another MFT product I used was Fossil card stock--which is a staple of my card stock collection. Love it!Thanks for stopping by today!
