Birthday Time

 I saw these epoxy stickers I had bought from the dollar store many years ago and I thought I could use them all on a card so I went about figuring out how I could mat them and what sizes I would need, then went to use them and the sticky part was still sticky but I was worried that it might not be enough so I added more glue, got it all made, came back the next day to take pictures and the stickers had warped a bit. I was so discouraged after all that work. Told hubby about it later that day and he wanted to see it.  He thought it was a cool card and that he didn't see anything wrong with giving it to his brother in law, so off in the mail it went. I did inking of the sentiment tag before taking it out of the die.


  • Clock Epoxy stickers
  • Ms. Sparkle $ co. - Wood paper
  • Crafter's Square - Birthday sentiment stamp
  • Spellbinders - Inverted Scallop squares and Back to Basics tag die
  • Recollections - Brads

Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by today,

Connie

Well, I agree with your hubby... it IS a cool card and the little bit of warping adds character. I like the idea of the different clocks with the sentiment!

I do love clocks. So needless to say, I loved seeing this card. You could not have picked a better sentiment to go with it.

The clock stickers make such a fun and unique collage, and the way you matted each piece gives the design great structure while the sentiment tag and wood paper background tie the whole birthday theme together in a really creative way.
