This is for Toni's WTUI challenge ~ WT529 It's About Time. That brilliant title says it all!!
I had already made a card a couple of weeks back which I reckoned I'd use for my older nephew's birthday next month - but now I think I'll use this one instead. He'll be 18, so the clock is set for 18.00 if you think of a 24-hour clock ;-). DH likes it better without the owls, but I wanted to use them since my brother has both a cuckoo clock and a clock that chimes different birdsongs in his house. And I like the way the one on the 6 looks as if he is wearing a tux .
Base - kraft stamped with the Woodgrain in walnut stain, edged with black.
Main panel - Brushos sprinkled on wet watercolour paper and misted. I stamped the clock face and sentiment and embossed them with black EP. Added chunky metallic EP and edged the panel with black.
The hands are embossed with copper EP, with a little owl on each one (Glossy Accents on the owls' eyes).
I actually made a different card for the CCEE Stampers this week, but since Frances had asked us to mark National Astronomy Day, I had stars in mind and used a star brad to hold the clock hands on, and added a couple more little ones on the clock face too. Main panel is popped up on foam tape.

Wow! Impressive! Special touches on this card indeed. The owls on the clock hands are cute and add a bit of whimsy. I first saw the time on your clock as 6:00, PM that is. It's when my DH gets home from work and it's Time to Celebrate! You are clever for setting the clock at 18:00 for 18 years old. Nice touch! The colorful panel is amazing. The wood panel is perfect for a clock. All in all a fabulous card. TFS
