Cheery Lynn Vintage and Stampin Sisters in Christ Time

The challenge over at Cheery Lynn this week is a vintage look.  Stampin Sisters in Christ is Time, there is a season for all.  I started this 5x7 card with a cuttlebug clock folder and sponged some oak brown ink over the raised portions.  The clock stamp and saying is from Our Daily Bread Design Time set.  I used the silver circle and inverted scalloped circle dies from Cheery Lynn for this and sponged ink around the edges to distress them.  The corners are from Cheery Lynn's Lace corner Deco F   I added the mini fanciful flourish from Cheery Lynn and sponged all of these with the oak brown ink.  The die for the saying is from cuttlebug and it too was sponged for distressing.  Check out the pretty cards on both Cheery Lynn and Stampin Sisters in Christ.
