Nature's clock

Another grey day here in Somerset, looks as if the sun has gone on holiday! So here is a cheerful card made with this month freebie image from The Outlawz Progressive Freebie Challenge.

Materials used:SAM_1990(watermarked)
Digi stamp - Wishful Asha (available from Outlawz Challenges)
blending card
yellow card
shimmer white paper
white enamel accents
Copic pens
archival black ink pad
circle and scalloped circle dies
Britannia flower and leaf dies (new!)
Thinking of you acrylic stamp from stash
19.5 cm square card blank
gold gems

Method:
I printed out my image and coloured it in with Copic pens. I cut it out with a circle die and cut a mat out of yellow card with a scalloped circle die. I cut out the flowers and leaves I needed with the Britannia dies from white shimmer paper and used Copic pens to colour them before assembling them.

I attached my topper, flowers and leaves to the card and added gems to the centre of the flowers. I put dots of the enamel accents on the dandelion clock to make it look like the seed heads. Finally I stamped the greeting at the bottom.

Unusually for us we are off again next week for a few days, no television and no wi-fi! We are staying in a property owned by the Landmark Trust. It used to be where the stoker lived when the pump engine (next door) was working. The stoker had to make sure the engine was running to keep the water level in the canal stable. It looks like an interesting place to stay, something a bit different.

Thanks for dropping in. Take care.

    Cute image, and of course - brilliant copic coloring. I like the sunshine yellows of the scallop mat and those pretty flowers. Lovely look. Enjoy your time away. It sounds very peaceful & calm. Maybe you can take some images along to color in your leisure quiet time! Whatever, relax and restore. TFS & Hugs.
