Flourishes Timeless Tuesday Challenge 147

 

I am so excited...I am the guest designer for Timeless Tuesday for December 2011. When I was asked by  Tammy Hershberger, the Flourishes Timeless Tuesday Challenge Coordinator, to be their Guest Designer, I was speechless and all I could say was WOW!  I am so honored and excited to be a part of this prestigious and talented group of designers and of course, Flourishes is one of my favorite stamp makers. So, here I am as a guest designer for this month.

Silke is the hostess for FTTC147 and she has a sketch challenge shown below.  Everyone can PLAY and anyone can WIN! Each week Flourishes draws one lucky name for a $10 gift code to the Flourishes store! Check out all the details at the Flourishes Blog.

For my card I decided to make a New Year's Card since I have finished my Christmas cards and I wanted to use a stamp set that I recently acquired, "Moments in Time" and thought it would be perfect for my card with a gold, black and white color combo.  I stamped the clock face on Flourishes White Classic Card Stock using a Memento Tuxedo Black Marker. I used a marker instead of an ink pad in order to stamp only part of the clock...I eliminated the hands so I could make the clock strike "Midnight".   I stamped the separate clock hands from the stamp set using versamark and gold embossing powder on a metallic gold card stock and cut them out. I used a gold brad to attach to the face.  I finished the card using a metallic gold card base, a white embossed mat, a strip of black card stock embossed and sponged with gold ink, some layered ribbons, and a sentiment from "Paperwhites".

Check out what the Timeless Tuesday Team has created for this challenge.

  Stamps: Flourishes " Moments in Time" and "Paperwhites"
Inks: Memento Tuxedo Black Ink Pad and Marker; Gold Ink pad: Versamark
Papers: Flourishes Classic White Card Stock, Unknown Gold Metallic Card Stock, Scrap of Black Card stock
Dies: Spellbinders Classic Circle and Lacey Circle
Embossing Folders: Cuttlebug Divine Swirls, Polka Dots
Sakura Clear Star Pen ( does not show in photo)
Gold Metal Brad from Stash     
Ribbons from Stash: White Organza with Gold  Stripes layered over Solid Gold Metallic

I cannot believe that I did not use a single Copics!
Thanks for dropping by.  I enjoy all your comments. Thank you.
