Itâs my turn to host the Inspiration Challenge (IC909) & weâre visiting the National Postal Museum & their Pinterest Board. I was inspired by THIS stamp.
My mini slimline card started w/ this really cute cuckoo clock add on die for the garden shed. I die cut the body of the clock out of some gray/white streaked paper then embossed it w/ a woodgrain folder. The paper is double sided so I used the flip side for the round clock face, the bird & the open door of the cuckoo part. I used a dk red for all the accent pieces & some grey woodgrain patterned wrapping paper for the layer behind the white front.
Thanks so much for looking. It's on my blog w/ more pics & products: The Write Stuff

I love your Cuckoo Clock, reminds me my uncle who collects them, I think they make a lot of noise all together but when you've got only one it must be funny, I love the colors and the cute Cuckoo
