"Moments In Time" by Tammy Weir


"Moments In Time"  Front of Card
by Tammy G Weir

Supplies:


1-6" x 6" Blank Card
1-5 1/2" x 5 1/2" Patterned/Solid Color paper
1-1" x 6" strip of paper
1-2" x 6" strip paper
1 tag (1" x 2 1/4") 
1-piece of paper to stamp image on
1-piece of paper approximately 4 1/2" x 6" for matting stamped image
Brads
Ribbon
Stickles
Stamp Pad - Brown
Gel Pens and Colored Pencils
Red Line Tape - something similar that is strong
Instructions:

Stamp image of your choice onto paper; leaving approximately 1/4" border on all sides trim away excess paper.  Color in you image.  I wanted bright colors in certain areas of my image (ie. umbrella and hat) so I colored those areas using gel pens.  I then finished the rest of the image coloring using colored pencils and a blender stick to blend and smooth the coloring.  

Stamp your "message" on the tag.

Once your image is colored using coordinating paper mat your image.  For the ornate borders on the top and bottom of my mat I used one of Sizzix shapeabillities.  I cut out the pieces of the shape and adhered them to the top and bottom of the back of my matt :).  Distress the edges using your stamp pad. Add a decorative brad to each corner of your image.

Now you are ready to assemble, using the photo as a guide layer your papers on your blank card. 

1. 
5 1/2" x 5 1/2" Patterned/Solid Color paper

2. 

1-1" x 6" strip of paper 

*using a border punch along one edge to create a decorative edge*

3. 

1-2" x 6" strip paper

4. matted image

5. Run a strip of red line tape the length of the border of the vertical strips

     and add your ribbon  and a bow.

6.  Adhere your "message" tag by tucking slightly behind the ribbon.


Note:  Stickles was applied to the raindrops in this image.
