Hi Everyone, my DT card today is for
Wondering what to do I picked up a book on my desk and a joke appeared, yes! It really did, it fell out of the book. Well, I had to use it, didn't I? It's from a newspaper and is years old.
- Although, I just realised, as I was adding the photo, I used Grandfather instead of Grandpa, oops!
Anyhow, it's my card you're here for. I couldn't find a clock, that I hadn't used, but did find two, which was what I wanted. I took both into Silhouette, and cut and print 3 layers of each. Then coloured both the clock with DI's and the ornaments on the Grandfather clock and pendulums in gold. Adding gold to the edge and "handle" of the digital clock. I found some digital paper in my files, which I thought suited, and in Photoshop, I added the joke text to the paper and printed it. The clocks were layered and attached to the card.
