 A fun and grungy birthday card for Today's Inspirational Challenge : "Bed, Bath & Beyond #IC427". Inspired by the look of this Citizen Men's Eco-Drive Avion watch: http://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/stor...tegoryId=12876

This card was made to look grungy for a masculine look. Background is a leftover piece of Kraft clock themed roll of wrapping paper from TJMaxx. I used it by corrugating/crimping it and sponging it then backing it with Black CS for added weight. The edges of the top panel are backed by a punched border made with the Fence MS Punch. ( I knew there could be more uses for that punch! ha!)... the clock embellies were charms but I cut off the the holding loops to make stand alone embellishments on the top panel.

TFL & happy weekend of crafting!  :)
