Helga Frost Birthday

Just a quickie today as I know we are all busy with the last minute preparations for Christmas but I wanted to show you this card.
Today is my brother's birthday.  Every year I make him a card featuring a sexy lady and this is the card I have made for him this year.

I started with an 8"x 8" Kraft card base. I created the paper in MCS by adding the sentiment  'Time is the wisest counsellor of all'  to a patterned paper from the Tinkering with Steampunk CD.

I was lucky enough to win a Top Three spot at Kenny K earlier this year and this is the image I chose as my prize. Her name is Helga Frost. I just love her Steampunk look. I coloured her with Copics and framed her with Kraft card.

The clock die is from Marianne and the cogs are a Memory Box corner die. I have cut some cogs apart to dot around the card.
Finally,
I would like to wish you all a very festive and joyful Merry Christmas xx 

I have entered this card in the following challenges:
