Hi everyone , this week I have a card for my step by step guide. I am still playing with all the gorgeous new products and thought the journal page catalyst card would work really well with a blue and brown colour scheme .
My first step then was to choose the blue and brown inks I wanted for my background . On a piece of smooth white card I inked across both corners in Vintage Photo distress ink. Choosing two D’inkables from set 2 . I then added some Blue Print Sketch distress ink , again across the corners , leaving the centre of my card ink free .
Next taking a journal page catalyst card from the #4 pack.I stamped out a selection of clocks from both sets , Time is FREE and Wasted Time .
I have been wanting to combine the beautiful clocks with some flowers , so taking a look in my collection , I chose the Doodle Art Dancing Daisy . Although this is a large stamp it is also quite delicate , so I knew it would make an impact without over shadowing the clocks . I stamped it on to another of the catalyst cards from pack #3.This time finding one in a blue colour scheme .
Next I cut out the clocks , cutting one in half as I wanted to build them up in a group behind the daisy . And why use two when you can use one!
Before deciding on the placement of the Daisy and clocks my background need a boarder . I added a black edge to my card using a ruler and broad black marker and with a fine liner pen, also black , I doodled around the edges
I usually stamp all of my images in black ink but for this project I kept to the brown / blue colour scheme and used a Versafine Clair ink in Pine cone . I think it worked well for this card and I must try to use more colours for stamping in my crafting !
To the finished the card I added the Time is FREE sentiment from the set of the same name and a couple of circular elements from the Doodle Art Dancing Daisy set.
Thank you for taking a look at my step by step this week , happy crafting
