Time Out Challenge # 33

Another fortnight has flown by, which means its time for another challenge at TIME OUT. Our challenge theme is to be inspired by the words:

                            Happy is the bride that the sun shines on 

Its totally up to you how you are inspired by this sentence. Maybe you just pick out one word or maybe go with a wedding theme. Surprise us with your creativity!!

The Guest Designer for this challenge is the amazing Sue from Sue's Card Craft. Her cards are so pretty and delicate. And she is a CAS girl after my own heart. I really encourage you to pop over to her blog to take a look, you will not be disappointed.

I knew this challenge would be fun because I don't make wedding related cards very often (in fact I think I've only ever made two....) so was nice to add a few more to my repertoire:

For the life of me I just couldn't come up with a wedding card that incorporated the sun, so decided to go with the shape of the sun instead.

I used a floral stamp from Altenew 'Hennah Elements' and heat embossed it on white CS in gold and on vellum in white. I used scissors to fussy cut them both out. After I worked out the placement, I heat embossed the flower in silver on the card front. I used double-sided tape to adhere the vellum flower and then foam tape to pop up the gold flower. A sentiment (from the same Altenew stamp set) was stamped in black and I decided to add no embellies. I love this stamp set, the images are all gorgeous!!

I'm also going to link this card to the CASology Challenge Week # 150 where their theme is 'Graduation'. When I was thinking about the cue word, I wanted to use another form of 'graduating' and I kept thinking about graduating to adulthood. Getting married has always been seen as a 'grown-up' thing to do and that you finally becoming an adult. Hopefully this makes sense!

You have two weeks to link your cards to the TIME OUT challenge and I can't wait to see where your imagination takes you. And of course the rest of the Design Team have created some incredible cards to give you some inspiring ideas. Hope to see you in the Gallery!!

Take care
