 I used Stampin' UP! products including the Forever Young Stamp Set.  I love this set!  It is so versatile because it can be made vintage, the tree with the child can be a child's card, or it can be dressed up for adults:).  I really enjoyed these challenges because it helped me use layers in a way I usually don't by making them be skewed to the sides.  Also, I love flourishes so that was an easy element for me to want to add.

How to:  I stamped the clock from Forever Young with Marina Mist on Whisper White Cardstock two times.  Then I cut out one of the clocks using a Paper Snips and the second clock I punched out the clock face using the 1" Circle Punch.  After I taped down the cut-out clock, I punched a blossom using the Blossom Bouquet Triple Layer Punch.  To make it a little smaller, I spritzed it with water and crinkled it up a bit so it fit closer to the circle.  Then I layer the 1" clock face over the blossom, punched a hole in them and added the brad.  I then used a dimensional to pop it up on the clock face.
