Time Out Challenge # 50

Hi everybody and welcome to a new challenge theme at TIME OUT!  Thank you so much to everyone who entered our last challenge, the Gallery was overflowing with beautiful cards and it will be so hard to chose a winner!! We have a photo to inspire you this time:

                                                    HOME SWEET HOME

From having a Gallery filled with colourful flowers, this next Gallery will be a wonder of black and white. You can be inspired by any part of this picture, maybe travel, the world, bedrooms etc...its totally up to you!!

Our Guest Designer joining us for this challenge is my fabulous crafty friend Cornelia from Fun Stamping (Stempel Spass). You will certainly have seen Cornelia's cards around blogland. She wins many challenges and belongs to several Design Teams too. I love her creations and she is a lovely person as well, so you could say she is the complete package!!

I immediately thought of black and white for my card when I saw this photo, and then I started noticing the different cities mentioned on the pillows etc. So an international card was born:

Hard to believe I know but I have some patterned paper as the star of my card!! I love the small paper pads and have quite a few but my designs don't use them often. I was flicking through them for this challenge and came across this paper from Basic Grey 'B-Side'. All of the different languages on it was perfect for the challenge, so cut a piece as large as the card front and adhered it.

I went with the idea of someone going away and missing them or maybe family or loved ones lived overseas that you missed. I didn't want to cover up too much of the paper, so I die-cut this frame from Pretty Pink Posh from black CS 3x and glued them together. This was adhered over the paper. I then stamped the sentiment (from Concord and 9th 'Map Love') on a circle of white CS, using a die from Couture Creations. This was popped up on foam tape. Its a pretty simple card but I love how it turned out!!

You have two weeks to link your projects to the TIME OUT challenge and of course the rest of the fabulous design team have created some projects on the blog to get your imaginations going. Can't wait to see you in the Gallery!!

Take care
