Clockworks for Dad

Happy Wednesday to you

It's turned into a wet one here,

but luckily I got lots done in the garden this morning :)

Welcome to my new followers,
thanks very much for adding me to your list.

Anyhoooo, my Mum is one day older than my Dad,

so he's her toy-boy teehee,

and here's the card I made him.

You may remember this one I did recently

at Eileen Godwin's workshop,

she is such an inspiration!

I overworked that one when inking and blending,

and I don't have that stamp set,

whereas this one I probably under blended the ink,

but have this time retained the bright centre, so that's good.

There were other things I had to improvise,

such as using some liquid pearls squished on craft mat to make rings,

(I actually really like the texture it added),

and some white dots using my signo pen,

coz I still haven't got any masking fluid.

I added some wink of stella to the 'fob',

it must have splattered a bit, but that's ok. 

Some fussy cutting, layering, added a brad,

and I was quite pleased, but would he be?

He said it was really good,

which was praise indeed,

so I think he liked it. 

So more satisfying than buying cards, for me anyway.

Happy parents, and made with love.

Hope your day has been good too.

Much love to you all,

and thanks for visiting.
