Stiggys Crafts

 This card uses a topper from Kanban Monochrome pack that was brought from Create and Craft a few years ago I used my Pegz stamps to do the sentiment  and matted that onto grey and yellow card. The topper was also matted onto a piece of yellow card it already had a grey border I used my Embossalicious  - A Stitch in Time embossing folder to do the background blue card Once embossed I then lightly sanded it so that the clocks stood out a bit more. The card was finished with a mat of yellow at the back and a strip of grey behind the image This card is for the following challenges: Cardz 4 Guyz - Blue, Yellow and Grey Simon Says Challenge - Lots of layers My Time to Craft - Embossing Heat or Dry Lets Squash It - Use embossing folder with numbers or letters and sand it Thanks for looking
