this is my card for thursday's ways to use it challenge. faith was our hostess this week and she challenged us to make a card that showed the passage of time.
we had lots of freedom to interpret this challenge.
I chose to make this one a masculine birthday card for an April birthday. I thought I couldnt go wrong with a soft suede and stripes card.
My card base is cuttlebugged with the fleur de lis folder. I used dsp from the christmas cocoa specialty pack. It had 2 different stripes pattern.
My time theme is my clock and a calendar.
My layout is from the mojomonday blog -sketch 134-supplied by the talented teresa kline.
I used a ms border punch that is more masculine looking. my sentiment is from 2 different sets-bella's bloom and just celebrate.
That's all my details!!

Oh, very nice, Mary!! I really like how you incorporated the passage of time in this card with the pocket watch (great sticker!!) and the calendar page. I love your choice of colors, too!! This IS a great masculine card--great work
