Its an 8X8 cream hammered card matted with a copper paper. I used a patterned paper from my Finnabair pad and using a cog stencil and vintage photo distress ink I created a background. All the other elements are Tim Holtz. Male cards are outwith my comfort zone, but I'm pleased with the way this one turned out.
I'm off to book my seat for the evening to watch Strictly Come Dancing and of course my knitting will be growing as well. Hope you all have a lovely week-end what ever your doing. Hugs Rita xxxx

Hi Rita, great card love the colour theme and the image. Enjoy your evening, hugs Kate X
To my eyes it looks as though it is well within your comfort zone.
Clever idea to stencil the background and then to overlay with the die-cut, brings wonderful impact to the card.
How lovely that you spent time with your son before his birthday.

A fabulous card for Alisdair. Love the way you've used that clock in the centre over the stencilling. I bet he was thrilled with it. Jenny x
Bet Alisdair loved this fabulous card Rita, a brilliant male card with great depth to it. I love the clock as the central image and the journey die cut balances the composition beautifully. Great job.
Happy Sunday.
