Awesome cards. The one that you've uploaded to APTS is fantastic with those different textures. I love the papers that you've chosen and the gems the clock are the perfect embellishments. Thanks for joining us at A Place To Start. Hugs, María.
ReplyDeleteGreat work! To me, the clock looks like one hanging on the front of a house. The patterned paper with the scalloped lace-style border forms the wall, and the lace doily represents the gable. The text fits perfectly, too, since memories are usually kept in a safe place. It’s a beautiful design, featuring the linen ribbon and red rhinestones. I really like the colors as well.
ReplyDeleteThank you for participating in the current Everybody Art Challenge.
Hugs, Uschi
