In this strange year, time is behaving very oddly. Each day and week seems to drag on forever and yet it's already autumn and yet we haven't properly had Easter yet. It's as if we've spent the last 10 months in suspended animation. But autumn it is (at least it is where I live!) and that puts us between 8pm and 10pm on the clock face of the year. How convenient, at least for this card, that a year has 12 months and a clock face 12 hours!
The clock face is a stencil I bought at the Make It show in Farnborough at the end of February (the last time I went OUT-out!), held in place on the card with removable adhesive and sprayed with distress ink. After removing the stencil, I smudged gold gilding wax around the edges and corners of the card. As this time of year is associated with Thanksgiving in many countries, I added a thank you sentiment to the centre.
Then I turned to the autumn coloured master board I made last month and stamped several leaves on it, fussy cutting and curling them slightly to give a wind-blown look, and positioned them in the "autumn" section of the click face.

Beautiful vintage look card! I love the rustic stenciling and wax edging. You are so true with your comments about Covid and quarantine. Stay safe and keep making your beautiful cards. Thank your for joining us this week at Watercooler Wednesday. Karen
Love the simplicity of your card, Jane! I know what you mean about the passage of time this year. I think it's because so many of the usual 'markers' have been missing. The seasons and the garden have carried on regardless of what we weird, self-important little creatures are getting up to - which really should tell us something! Jo x
