Good morning Alicia here today with a Happy new home card. As soon as I saw the Die Versions Whispers Grandfather clock I envisioned a scene. I found the Spellbinders D Lites Artistocrat a perfect fit in my new home scene. I had fun piecing together several cuts in different papers to create a detail. I added both cuts to a wallpaper feeling background paper to create my warm home like scene.
I cut both the clock and deer out twice using different papers. I then cut pieces apart and put them back together mixing the papers. Some of the pieces were pretty small, I found a precision glue pen the best to adhere. I also fussy cut a back piece for the inside of the clock out of chipboard. I used chalking ink to color it brown. I inked all the edges with the same chalking ink, I find this adds cohesiveness to the piece.
Here are some pictures of the details:
