Hi! This card was made for today's Sketch Challenge.
Speedy the Cat thinks Mark, (my husband and Markie's Dad), is his father! Speedy the Cat ADORES him! Mark has the cat trained to do tricks! I'm jealous. I admit it. So, when I saw this sentiment, I HAD to use it for Mark's birthday card! In case you can't see it, it reads, "If things get better with Age, then you are approaching MAGNIFICENT!"
The pocket watch is a Spellbinders' Shapeability. I cut it out, BROKE my CUTTLEBUG, and then embossed it in my Big Shot. (Whew! Thank goodness I had that extra machine, right?) Next, I ran a More Mustard, then Close to Cocoa pad over it. This really gave it dimension. The clear clock face is a die cut, too! I added a gold clock charm!

Faith, This is awesome. Love all the dimension here. Love the die cut clock face especially the back one. Great ribbon. Who makes that back die cut?

ok...now I want to know how you broke your cuttlebug so I don't do the same thing. This looks great...I was playing with this same spellbinder earlier...so...I have a little more inspiration now.

Well, hold on to your britches!!! For once, I agree with Speedy- Mark IS magnificent - as is his card. He's gonna love it. So, spill the beans, when's the big day?
