Outside the box Card

Here is my exchange for my One Card a Month (OCAM) group, theme was for the birds.  I wanted something different so I used a vintage french thread bobbin, cemented a bird clip to the top, used german scrap to decorate the paper, stamped it, applied rubbons and used  a glitter mixture to cover the cement.  Finally I attaced a double clip italian Clipola clip to use as a closure.  A very Euro card, not quite in the box.

Several weeks ago, I attended Art and Soul in Portland, OR.  I only took 3 classes, one in encaustic wax.  I had a general idea of what I wanted to create before I took this class.  I knew I wanted to use this clock face along with the Marie Antoinette picture to create something.  For a first attempt I am very pleased with what I made, and I truly enjoyed working with encaustic wax techniques.  I can't wait to work on more.

I have been busy so haven't been doing much lately.  I decided I needed to be forced to make things so I rejoined a group of friends Prestigious Stampers, and am commited to making one card a month (OCAM).
Here is this month's effort, a cascading card.
