Watercolour Wednesday - Time Together

 Today's watercolour is quite subtle. Using the stamps I stamped the timer from a piece of Fluid 100 watercolour paper which I had soaked several times with Azure Afternoon ink and water. It took a while to dry as I wanted it as close to the true colour as possible. While it was drying, I started on the card base itself. This is a simple style of card with a smaller card attached behind the inside white mat. I used some of the paper from Bright's range of designer series paper, DSP, I added a strip on the one side only and added and embossed mat to the front of the smaller card. I used one of the Stripes and Splatters embossing folders for the embossing.

Once the watercolour paper was dry, I stamped the timer in Memento Ink and then some of the other stamps on the inside. Then using my Azure Afternoon Blends pens, I coloured in the sand and then added some little hearts from the large heart die from another piece of the DSP. 

Technique Tuesday - Memories and More - Bright and Beautiful

 Today's cards there is a little more to do to make these and I used my favourite method of fussy cutting for all 3 cards. Using one of the Memories and More card pack and one of the card bases, I fussy cut a balloon out of the centre of one of the C7 cards. I used the balloon on another card. I placed a piece of card from one of the other cards to give some more interest behind it and placed some of the peel off, die-cut labels from the card pack. There are 4 die cut sheets in a pack.

The second card was made using a standard card base in Azure Afternoon and a piece of the DSP from the Bright and Beautiful DSP. I used one of the C7 card and cut off the 4 corners. I then cut out the Happy Birthday from another card and fussy cut it before adding it to the small card.

My third card is one of my favourites. There are 2 of the large cards which have balloons all across the front. I fussy cut all of the balloons out, added dimensionals to the reverse and added it to the soft pink card base.
