Clocks TMR

 Everyone, my DT post today is for 


My card today was fun to make and I even made up a "quote" on the front. I have lots of clock images in my files and this one had my attention, as did the Hickory Dickory Dock Nursery Rhyme. 

I took the clock and mouse into my die cutting machine, cutting 3 layers of each. I printed the frame background with the altered nursery rhyme I wrote, then stencilled the "wallpaper" background around the, can I call it a story? it was layered onto orange card to enhance just the sides. I layered the images and 3D'd the clock and mouse. The clock face and mouse eyes were covered with 3D glaze, (Love that stuff) and I added silver gel pen to the pendulum and the weights in the clock. 
sentiment - my own
clock - Creative Bloom 2015
inks Distress Inks
orange card - Lidl
mouse - Bella Gypsy 2013
clock hands - Sheila Reid 2014
glaze - Nuvo Crystal Glaze
silver gel pen - Uniball
Silhouette die cutting machine
Photoshop

I copied the insert greeting from Aimeslee who gave me permission to use it. I used the same frame, from the front of the card, as a surround and found some clock hands to enhance it. I thought the greeting suited this card so well.
