Hi! This card was made for today's Technique Lovers Challenge marquee cards found HERE. It also qualifies for this week's Speedy's Friends Challenge found HERE. And, it fits this week's Stampin' B's Challenge to use a circle, red and green!
Now, seriously, doesn't that title crack you up??? Marquee=MARKIE! LOL Seriously, I'm over-tired, because I can't stop laughing. Maybe it's because I worked way too hard on this card? Yep, that's it! This card was done with SPELLBINDERS, not punches. And, to make it EASIER on myself, I cut from each layer starting with the top square panel and working down. THEN I cut the card front in half and adhered each SIDE to the card base. It was so much easier!
I EMBOSSED the inside panel. That panel is our Premium Colored Pencil Paper. I love it! It has a great felt texture that accepts ink, very well. I stamped the pocket watch twice in Adirondack Espresso and cut them out. Next, I sponged on Ginger and colored each in with Memento markers.
The leaves are a Sizzix Die Cut.
Finished card size: 5" square
Total time to complete: Well over an hour. I lost track after an hour.

I love how you did this card with different shapes. I love the overlapped leaves and clocks. I'm not a fan of clock images, but I love it with the sentiment - then it makes sense!

Yeah, kiddo..I'm with you. I think mine took more than 2 hours. Maybe I should have gone with the 5" square. Seems the measurements didn't work for an A2 card. This is wonderful Faith! the colors are just so gorgeous!!
