Time is Sneaky!

It seems like just yesterday I received the wonderful news that my daughter is engaged.  Now, suddenly, we are just three weeks out from the wedding.   It is almost scary how fast time is flying by!   I made this birthday card for a friend with a stamp that articulates that thought perfectly:

I made this card to qualify for three different Club Scrap challenges:

1) 09/18 NBUS challenge which is to use a noise or background stamp.  I used a small one from the Down to Earth kit to create some texture behind the sentiment.

2) 09/18 Technique challenge “Inked Shadows” which is to use ink to create some depth.  I created a mask of the sentiment and used Sapphire ink to highlight it.

3) 09/18 Sketch Challenge which offers this sketch: 

I moved the sentient down and added an image, but otherwise I followed it pretty close.  Unusual for me!

The background is a technique I learned from this Gina K video.

Other supplies I used are:

**Paper from Club Scrap and Gina K. Designs.

** The sentiment stamp and the clock stamp are from Club Scrap’s “Time of Your Life” kit

**I used both Sapphire and Earth Hybrid Inks from Club Scrap.

**The sentiment is stamped with VersaMark ink and embossed with Chestnut powder from Zing.

**The clock was stamped with the Earth ink, embossed with Clear powder from WOW and fussy cut.

**The ribbons are both from Club Scrap (brown the Bookshelves” kit and the blue from the Serenity kit, altered with B93 Copic marker.)

**I colored in the edge of the clock stamp with Ground Espresso Distress marker.

**The nailheads are from my stash.
