When I came upon this card I fell in love with so many different elements to look at and to enjoy. Great color scheme, along with the sentiment that is so perfect for this work of art. This inspiration was created by Ann Schach. I would like to thank Ann for sharing her talent with us.
This card is all about texture. To create your background, Ann took the music paper from Newsprint Designer Series and embossed it with the Square Lattice Textured Impression Embossing Folder. You will find more texture on the leaves punched from the Two Step Bird Punch. Distressing is done with Soft Suede ink which gives an aged look to the edges. Almost every element on this card is distressed. A few Crumb Cake water spots were added by the Water Spot stamp from French Foliage. The clock face from Sense of Time was stamped in VersaMark onto vellum and then heat embossed with black embossing powder. Flowers were punched with the Boho Blossoms Punch and pearls were added to the center.
Boho Blossoms Punch with Pearl Centers.
Distressed Bird accented with pearl eye.
Cherry Cobbler roses balance the left side of the clock.
Creativity involves breaking out of your traditional style. Take a look at your project in a different way, and never hesitate to try something new.
Thank you for visiting and have a very creative day.

Gorgeous card! Love that clock and the papers you chose are perfect!
I am a huge fan of Ann’s work! Everything she does is beautiful. She is also one of the most generous people I know. I love seeing her work featured here!
This is truly lovely and I was really tempted to make it until I figured out it would cost me $229 to buy all of the supplies. So I will just enjoy your card – thanks so much for sharing!
