REMINDER - Time Out Challenge # 34

Hi everbody, just wanting to remind you about the current TIME OUT challenge. There is still one week to get your entries in, so hopefully thats enough time for you to get creative!!


I love this inspiration photo so much!! The colours, the geometric shapes, the patterns.....oh my....so many ideas running thru my head! My last card was based mainly on die-cutting, so thought I better do some stamping to even things out:


I'm sorry the photo isn't brighter. Have been struggling to capture the sunlight this Winter. Its either not there or its so bright you can't see the card at all!!

 I stamped a banner stamp from the corners into the middle using red, orange, light pink and dark pink ink pads. I then die-cut the frame from the card front, and also three times with black CS. I glued all the frames together and added a piece of white CS to the back of the card front, this gave somewhere for the frame to sit. I stamped and heat embossed the sentiment in gold and then used glue to inlay the frame. Of course I had to add a few sequins for a bit of sparkle.

 The banner stamp is from Waffle Flower 'Congrats' and the sentiment stamp is from Avery Elle 'Bottle it Up'. The frame is from Paper Smooches 'Fancy Frame Icons' and the sequins from Neat and Tangled.

 I'm going to link this to the CAS on Sunday Challenge # 61 where their theme is 'One Layer'.

 Will also link to the new Virginia's View Challenge # 16 where the theme is '100% Stamped'. Your allowed to put in the odd little die-cut, so hopefully my frame will be okay....

The TIME OUT challenge finishes next Wednesday, so that gives you plenty of time, I hope, to be overwhelmed with ideas for this photo challenge. If you do need any help, please pop over to the blog where the rest of the Design Team and our Guest Designer - Sue have prepared some glorious projects for you. Hope to see you in the Gallery!

Take care
Shona

    Beautiful card; I'm enjoying the crisp, clean diagonal lines; I love the frame which serves as a door to the sentiment
