Great job of combining the challenges. Like how you turned the sketch around and saw something different you could work with. I am still pondering whether I want to attempt it.

Sallie, I love your sketch turned this way and what lovely colours you have chosen for your card... also love the fleur de lis border punch and the way you have designed the bg. Everything fits so well with that clock... very well done...
Beautiful card, Sallie! I love the clock over the brick panel and the neat punched edge. It reminds me of the hands of the clock! I really like the stenciled panel, too!

Awesome and Oh so true sentiment, Sallie! Beautiful use of the gold...love the embossed folder and sponged stencil! (Don't bang your head anymore.) See why we all need each other? ; )

I love that green shade Sallie; very much like oxidized copper. I'm sure that's why you chose it because it goes hand in hand with your gold clock face. I spent part of October in Europe and as soon as I saw your card clock tower came to mind! Your imagination is a wondrous thing. Love your card!

I really like how you home made bg turned out and leave it to you to see a clock tower in that sketch (I didn't even attempt it today). Your clock face has an antique feel to it and the detail of a fleur de lis border is very European. Four more challenges to go for HYCCT...its been fun but a long month!
