Yet Another Birthday Card

I'm not sure what happened to making Christmas cards, but hey, at least I'm having fun  :)

I've been known to say 'whatever' in the past, but not for a long time, unless to myself!  Anyway, I saw a clock the other day with that word and just had to do it:

I used the sketch from Graphicat challenge blog, http://graphicatsketchs.blogspot.com/
My clock was a bit big, so I had to move the middle piece over a bit to see it  :)

I found some fabric--a bit bright--so turned it over, then decided to cut out some flowers for the inside using Tim Holtz Tattered Florals Die and Tim Holtz goodies for the 'hands' and film strip.







Thanks for looking, it was fun to make except for that film 'flower'.  That took a bit of thought, cut the strip in half and ended up sewing it on the bottom---it just kept bouncing everywhere  :)
