I think looking at my card samples you will be able to tell that I just love this set. In fact I think it is my favorite of the new releases.I love how it can be used to give a vintage feeling to the card.
I stamped the pocket watches onto floral dp. I then stamped the pocket watch from the TAKE TIME mini set. I embossed the edges with gold ep. The center I used UTEE. I wanted to use the cracked glass technique, because I thought it would make it look old.
Here is a close up of the cracked glass
I have the pocket watch popped up with a giant button underneath. I added quilled roses and a ribbon. I made my card for today, an easel card.
I thought of this scripture as I was making my cards the other day, so I used my computer to print this scripture. I think this easel card will be a great home decoration for my friend.
Here are two cards I made last week.
