It's been a glorious day today, I've been very lazy and spent most of it in the garden, finished reading one book and read half of another, my idea of bliss! They are both library books with other people waiting for them so it would have been selfish not to! :)) I doubt if we'll get many more perfect days like this one before the autumn really sets in so I made the most of it.
This is a card I made yesterday, just because I could. The cute image is from My Besties, a prize from a recent win and I felt like a bit of colouring therapy. I've used Copics mainly but added a touch of sparkle here and there with gel pens, sadly not showing on the photo. The gorgeous papers are from Stamperia. The cogs die cut behind the image and clock was inked with distress inks and sprayed with a mica mist and it has a beautiful shimmer IRL. The Stamps are Tim Holtz. I added a couple of metal cogs and some pearl dots to finish.
Thanks for visiting
enjoy the rest of the weekend
Chris

Love the steampunk effect of the clock and cogs in the background,a beautifully coloured image and brilliant sentiment
Such a lovely card and yes weathee has been nice. Was so nice to have the back door to the garden open all day. Teddy could come and go as he pleased. Fingers crossed we have a few more so he gets the hang of toilet training before the dark nights and chilly days. Enjoy your weekend
