Less is More Week 156 Sketch

Hello everyone from yet another wet and cold day in Somerset.  Thought I'd pop by with a quick post today.  There's a sketch challenge over at Less is More

It's SKETCH TIME again 
 at "Less is More" and here is another one drawn by Jen.
The main feature on the band can be any shape you choose, but we would like the layout to remain as here.

As I was blog hopping today I saw a challenge over at Technique Time Tuesday for some triple time stamping, so thought I'd kill two birds with one stone (so to speak.........!). My fellow DT Shana is your host for the month so do pop on over to have a look.

So here's my card:


I have used Stampin Up Bordering on Romance, sentiment is SU Wonderful Words.  I started out by die cutting three shapes from my Xcut nesting Hexagons and attached them centrally on each other using removable adhesive.  I put these three pieces on my foam stamping mat as it gives a much clearer stamp impression when using this technique.  I then used a water brush to draw in colours to the flowers and leaves.  I originally then die cut three mats using the next size up dies but found they were too wide to give the impression of triple time stamping so instead used my Perfect Layers rulers and gave them a border mat of 1/16" which looked much better.  I cut a piece of the pink bazzil card and mounted some white card over and then stamped the sentiment.

So hopefully this complies with both the Less is More and Technique Time Tuesday challenges.

Thanks for taking the time to visit - your comments are much appreciated.

Happy crafting.
