Stamped Clock on a 4″ square piece of Whisper White card stock by first loading my stamp with Versamark and then with Basic Black ink before stamping it.
Heat embossed the image using clear embossing powder and a heat gun.
Masked the bottom of the card stock with a post it note and flipped it upside down and brayered Apricot Appeal ink on the card stock.
Flipped the card stock right side up and Brayered on Bashful Blue ink.
Brayered Not Quite Navy ink on the card stock, not covering the Bashful Blue up entirely.
Brayered Dusty Durango ink on the Apricot Appeal ink, not covering it entirely.
Took the old Post it note mask off and put a new one on to cover the sky area. Sponged Old Olive ink on the unmasked area.
Sponged Always Artichoke ink on the right hand side of the card stock.
Sponged Basic Black ink on the Right side of the card stock, not covering the Always Artichoke ink up entirely.
Stamped the tree by first loading the stamp with Old Olive ink. Then added Always Artichoke ink to one side of the tree leaves and Basic Black ink to the trunk before stamping it.
Sponged Basic Black ink all the way around the card stock edge and under the tree to create a shadow.
Stamped the gears twice with Basic Black ink.
Added White Gel pen hightlights to the tree and a few dots in the grassy area.
Layered the main image panel with a Dusty Durango Panel, Bashful Blue Panel and Basic Black Panel. Stamped the top of the tree at the bottom of the Black panel with White Craft (Pigment) ink.
Added Sakura Souffle pens in Orange and light blue to some of the leaves.
Added another Bashful Blue Panel and Basic Black panel. Here it is finished measuring 5″ x 6.5″.
May we all slow down for a moment today and just enjoy life.
Until my next post. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Huge Hugs,
Michelle

Good Morning Michelle. What a precious grand daughter you have. Yes time just flies and I sometimes wish for just 10 minutes of having my kids back as babies again. But just for 10 minutes!!!lol Okay I wasn’t sure what I would do with “Sense of Time” until now. You are truly amazing and very gifted.
What a lovely little girl. She looks so pleased with her cake. The older I get the quicker time flies so enjoy each other’s company while you can.
Okay that cake looks fabulous and what a beautiful granddaughter.
This card also is FAB and I mean FAB. This was my favorite stamp set of the new catalog and I can’t wait to get it now. You did an outstanding job on this one. I’m going to have to look at that catalog again. I don’t remember seeing that blog candy set. hmmmm
What a lovely card. Time certainly does go quickly. She looks so happy with the cake.
Great card - great set - yes time does go too quickly! Enjoy!
Sandra
Oh My YES time flies !!! Your card is beautiful, but not nearly as lovely as Hailey. Have a wonderful day. Hugs…
Michelle–I stalk your blog regularly, and am fascinated by your cards!! But this one is phenomenal! Really, really beautiful (as is Hailey!). Thanks for sharing your wonderful talent.
Wowzers, I would love to win this set that I have been eyeing. Today’s cards is one of my favs. I like when you uses oranges and reds. Hailie is adorable. Great post all around.
Hailie is absolutely adorable! Those blue eyes are amazing and precious!
Love today’s creation! The colors are superb, and I love how you stamped the panel with the leaves, but colored them like flowers. Wowza!!
I have never seen bluer eyes on a 6 year old before. She is a living doll………no wonder Grandma tears up!!! Cake looks good too! Thank you for sharing yet another example of how to mix and match stamps! I think it would have taken me ages to come up with something near as pretty as this!
Hello Michelle, and Happy Birthday Hailie Jade - no question why you are the light of your grandma’s life.
Thank you again Michelle for sharing another wonderful card - I love the way you have conveyed the passing time so effectively. I also love the set you have a blog candy, so thank you for sharing that as well.
Hugs, Anne P.

Hi Michelle,
Happy Birthday, Hailie Jade! A beautiful name for an adorable grand daughter!!
I am sure both of you had lots of fun making that cake - my favorite, chocolate.
