This is a wonderful sketch, Roxie! Thank you so much. Imagination, what is it and where does it come from? Can we grow it, are we inspired by it? All questions floating 'round my mind in the middle of the night. I'll be keeping this card out where I can see it, for awhile to remind me to look beyond what I think I see.
The beautiful embossed sticker was the beginning of my card. It is a K&co classic. I built a frame around it using one of Purple Onions journal stamps and nested rectangles underneath. My base is unknown black with a floral pattern from Basic Grey Pheobe next. I cuttledbugged this with the new birds and vines embossing folder and a serendipity that the bird is sitting on the edge of the top black scallop! My classic thinking man is Stamp in the Hands' Avant-Garde #1. I stamped him on Pheobe pink in Adirondack Pitch Black. My gears are from SU's It's About Time. I love that you can set the little hands to a date. These images were stamped on purely pomegranate with Brilliance Ink coffee bean and embossed in clear. YES, I did exacto the gears. The bling brads are from MM. It is popped on foam
I applaud each of you for displaying your imaginations on a regular basis...I love to see what you create. I am always thankful for your comments
