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 - Time Together

 Today's card using the Time Together stamp set is in one of my favourite colours, Poppy Parade, RED!!

This time I only used the lower half of the timer stamp. I inked up to the centre point in the soft blue of Balmy Blue ink pad. From there, I added lots of the pretty little flowers. The larger flower to the top and a few XOXO hearts and it was complete. I mounted the white mat onto a piece of the Poppy Parade card and both were added to the card base which now has a white embossed mat using the Metal Plate embossing folder. A sentiment onto the banner which I fussy cut out and the card was complete.

Make It Simple Monday - #simplestamping - Time Together

 Hello and thank you for joining me today. This week I am going to be sharing some cards made using the Time Together stamp set and later in the week, the dies too. Each time I saw the stamp set in the catalogue I studied it and then went past it. One day, I decided to order the bundle. There was something about this set that I needed to work with... no idea why but there it is. 

So my first card is a very basic, simple card. Using only a White card base, I stamped the timer (sorry, I don't know the correct name for it) onto the front of the card base and then the extra elements. A few flowers and such later, I coloured them in with my granddaughter's colouring pencils. They are ordinary pencils that can picked up very cheaply, so easy to use and colour in with.
