Hello
Today I have a card for Time Out Challenge 219, it is a photo prompt this time and it just happens that I have been practicing my watercolouring by painting sunsets. A few weeks ago, while I was on holiday, I bought a pack of Khadi papers that are made from recycled cotton rag. They are tiny pieces measuring 7.5 x 5cm. I thought I would use them to make tiny watercolour pictures and so far I have made 2. I love the look of the torn edges and think they make wonderful CAS cards.
It is mounted on some craft foam and attached to a dark blue/grey cardbase. The sentiment is by Taylored Expressions and is stamped in white pigment ink. I am quite pleased with it, I hope you like it too.
I hope that one day I will be able to do these without having to find inspiration from someone else.
It is ages since I last joined everyone at time out, so I am happy to be putting that right now.
Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog today, I really appreciate it.

Beautiful blog
Please read my post
You let yourself be inspired wonderfully and sometimes you need inspiration too. In the end, a work of its own emerges.
Hilary, you had all the inspiration you needed right there in that Time Out photo! You took it and ran with it beautifully! What a darling miniature and a grand grey gallery to display it!

Perfection! You're amazing with your watercolor, Hilary. A beautiful sunset (sunrise?) scene, and the raggedy paper adds plenty of design interest for the card. This is just so gorgeous!

Your aquarelle scene is beautiful! And to use it in/on a CAS-card is a great idea! Thank you for joining us at TIME OUT!
What a gorgeous scenic piece of watercolor. I absolutely love the colors. I think you've really used the khadi papers well. And the card design looks just perfect for the dimension of the watercolor panel. Everything about this card looks perfect!
