A theme of 'brown' set by Hels today at
Sunday Stampers and I had a chance to use some of my new Timmy H stamps - I made a card, although I didn't know I was making a card till I finished the middle bit!
I started with a square from the Lost and Found stack but used a gesso wash to lighten the colour a bit before stamping the main image bottom left (from the Tim plate World Traveller (I was watching Prof Brian Cox on Something for the Weekend as I started this... space travel was on my mind!)
"not all who wander" is from the same set, stamped on a scrap and 3d foamed to the base, giving the mini car (the TSV special) something to drive along!
Mini brolly man caused me some problems - good job I tested him on a scrap - I only had it upside down on the mount and got a big black blob...
Close up of some details. (not that my camera lets me get very close!)
Found a sheet of 8x8 brown paper stock (craftwork cards) to fit to an 8x8 card and edged it with tissue tape all round.
Brushed some walnut stain DI round the base work before attaching it to the big card.
Philosophy tag and game spinner to finish.
bottom left - 'enjoy the journey' from the tsv special, a great mini version - on a scrap of tag left from something!
bottom right.
This will go in my box ready for when I need a 'man card'!

Gorgeous man card, love all the stamping, it looks like it's a shadow box, lovely effect. xx
This is terrific and it does look more like a box, such a great 3D effect. Loving your new stamps Helen and love your design. Annette x
Images and sentiments work together really well. Great card for a man.
It's great how the Tissue Tape give the illusion of a shadow box, love all the Timmy elements:)
This is a fab card (I thought it was a box too lol) I didn't go for the TSV, but seeing your stamps I wish I had. I can see that I need more tissue tape too, yours looks brilliant x
Great card Helen! Love the TT border! Looking forward to more of the Proff Brian tonight! x
Great masculine card and the tissue tape around the edges is very effective. Great combination of images. Tracy Evans x
