Retirement Card

My next commission was for a retirement card for a man. I took my inspiration from a card I did on a workshop with Maria Simms.

20 x 20 brown base card
I cut out 9 brown squares and 8 white ones. I distressed the white ones and a piece that was 19 x 19 .  I used flitter glue, with royal peacock guilding flakes and the stamps are a mixture of
cogs - from Kanban
Minature fob watch and large fob watch (centrepeice) from Clarity
a round sentiment from little Claire and another watch fob that came with craft stamper magazine a long time ago.


the centrepiece was made by stamping the sentiment,and then I had to put the flakes on before I could mask it to then add the fob watch.( how do I know to add the guilding flakes first LOL).
