Enjoy Your Day

My Dad's birthday is this week, so I made this card for him.  Everything is from Tim Holtz except for the tiny tag, vintage button and sentiment.


The papers are from the Crowded Attic and Wallflower collections.  The branches and leaves are cut with Tim's Spring Greenery dies.  I added two bare branches under the robin and a couple others peeking out from under the clock.  I then drew some veins onto the leaves.  A couple of gears and a clock hand dress up the clockface.  Some foam tape was put under the Thrift Shop ephemera pieces for dimension.   A few chitchat word stickers were added last.


This card is a bit larger in size than I normally make measuring 6-1/2x6-1/2 inches.  You can click on each image if you would like to see a larger view of the details.

It's kind of a transitional weather day here today.  We've had some almost springlike days this past week--very unusual for August.  I have to admit I loved that bit of a touch of fall air in the mornings!  Have a wonderful week!  Thanks so much for stopping by and your sweet comments.

  4. LOVE your card, Patty! Of course I am a huge fan of all things Tim Holtz, so this just speaks to me.....and I absolutely love what you've done! So many fabulous details on here, and you just rocked the masculine design. Love it!
    sounds like your weather is very much like ours. We had a couple of very pretty days at the end of last week...but now we are back to solid gray, rainy gloom.
