The Paper Players #69 and CCMC #173 - Cuckoo Clock

Hi Friends,
Today's post is for The Paper Players Sketch Challenge and the Create With Connie and Mary Colour Challenge.  I stamped the clock three times, cut it out and layered the clock frame and then the dial on dimensionals. Punched out the leaves and flowers, embossed the Baja leaves and added the pearls to the centres.  For the sentiment I shortened it using the Word Window Punch. 
 
This card was awarded the Cut Above Award at The Paper Players this week and the Winners Badge from Create With Connie and Mary.







Supplies:
Stamps:  S/U's Forever Young, Teeny Tiny Sentiments
Card and Papers:  Island Indigo, Baja Breeze, Rich Razzleberry, Whisper White, DSP Patterns Pack - Subtles
Ink: Stazon Black, Rich Razzleberry
Embellishments: Pearls
Tools:  Big Shot, Square Lattice EB Folder, Bird Builder Punch, Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack, Word Window Punch, Scalloped Oval Punch, Large Oval Punch, 3/4" Circle Punch, Dotted Scallop Ribbon Border Punch, Sponge, Dble Sided Tape, Dimensionals, 2 Way Glue Pen
Thanks for stopping by today.
Hugs,
Cat's Ink Siggy
