There were some fabulous pieces on view in the IC site for today - some of the chickens reminded me so much of Anna Wight's designs that I may be back with another card. But from the very start this Carpe Diem clock caught my eye.
A2 base.
All papers are Basic Grey Little Black Dress. The gable of the birdhouse/clock and black borders are corrugated card painted with acrylics. Bird is embossed and swiped with rub-on metallic luster. He does have a black pearl eye, it doesn't show so well in the photo.
Clock and sentiment are HOTP Timeless. I stamped the clock and hands, then added two layers of UTEE, put a tiny brad through the centre and layered it behind the birdhouse.
Flourish is Spellbinders Flourish Accent embellished with pearls. I sprayed the foliage with glimmer mist just for some added oomph.

You nailed this, Sabrina - such attention to detail, I had to sit and study it for a while! I love how you made the clock face glossy, it has such a "real" look!
