One of my dearest friends had a birthday in April. We both love Vintage, shabby-chic, Laura Ashley type style. I first saw this card on Splitcoast and fell in love with it. I own a clock that looks a little like this and, despite that, it had never occurred to me that 'Sense of Time' could be so feminine. I immediately thought of Jenn when I saw the card.
I actually own the 'Baby Blossoms' set thanks to my lovely friend Lavonne. It is quite an involved process to use it, as it is all 2-step stamping with these teeny little stamps, but so worth it. That's why I own the essential 'Stamp-a-ma-jig!!!
The colours are not quite right in this pic. The green is actually 'Pear Pizazz' and not so vivid as in the pic. I have sponged 'Champagne Mist' shimmer paint randomly over the clock face too, which hasn't shown up. I can't remember where I saw someone use the tiny tags on the safety pin. Could you let me know if it was you? It is a fab idea, and not from my brain LOL.
I was really happy with it, just not sure about the 'Rose Red' flower. I love them but thought it might be a bit heavy sitting where I put it. I hope we get these & the Seam Binding ribbon in our next catty (must whisper in Shelli's ear at Convention NEXT WEEK!!!!!!).
Must keep moving.
Cheers,
Fi xox

This is a stunning card Fi! The clockface looks amazing & I can just imagine the pearly sheen of the shimmer paint. Love the teeny tags on the pin & ribbon too.
Have a wonderful time at Convention!
What a beautiful creation, Fi ... and so much detail. I wonder if we will get the Baby Blossoms set? It looks a sweetie! I imagine the shimmer mist is fabulous, too!

What a gorgeous card. I've not seen that clock done in a feminine way before and it suits it beautifully. That Stampamajig sure got a workout!!
