I used tan cs, for the back panel of my card. The next panel is brown, I cut the shape of the floral and watch dp, with a cut-n-mark cutter. I layered it to the brown panel. Now I used my watch ef, put it through the cuttlebug, and fussy cut the timepiece I wanted. To give the tan timepiece thickness, I cut a second time piece, out of brown cs, I glued them together, and outlined the, tan side numbers and hands , with a gold gel pen. Now, I went back to the cricut and cut the word celebrate, and added it to the top right corner of the card. I added a stem, cut from a scrap of tan cs, and outlined it with the gold gel pen. Next, I added the watch fob, using some gold thread that I had laying around in my lace and ribbon box. To complete my card, I added a pink bow. This is my daughter and son-in- law, Anniversary card. Thanks for the fun challenge, and thanks for looking.

What a beautiful card to treasure over time. Love, love, love the embossed pocket watch! It goes fabulously with the paper. The gold cord as the chain on the watch is so clever! Looks great. We used the same DP and I love how you used it on your card. The die cut word celebrate looks great! Very nicely done. Your kids will love it! TFS
