New Challenge at Time Out!

Hi friends!

We have a new challenge for you at Time Out... It is to be Inspired by Your Favorite Thing to Do in January! There's lots of inspiration on how to interpret this theme in our challenge blog... Along with all the other challenge details and guidelines. Don't miss any of it, click HERE! By playing along you could win a prize from Lawn Fawn and you could also be called to guest design in a future challenge. This time our guest is Verena with a super fun CAS card! 

I live in Finland and January is one of our most wintry months. When it comes to card making in January, I usually try to make cards that reflect that and are wintry without being Christmas cards... And that can be sometimes tricky! Also the upcoming Valentine's Day is celebrated as a Friendship Day in Finland and I do like sending those cards... So most of my January cards are made for friends. 

I used a Waffle Flower cover plate and created 3 different white on white cards (there's a white on white theme in Simon Says Stamp Instagram challenge which gave me this idea). The "Hello Friend"-cards are a "two for one design" where I used paper with handmade quality (it has some small color variations) combined with white glitter card in the other and pearly white shimmery card in the other. The pearly white is an inlaid design and is maybe my favorite -after inlaying the pieces I ran the whole thing through my die cutiing machine with the embossing plates (I protected it with a folded piece of copy paper) and it just looks so smooth and lovely IRL! In the "Hello"-card I've embossed the die on white card and also then "flattened" it with the same method than the pearl card -love how that looks too. The white glitter version is simply a die cut panel glued on glitter card. It looks nice too, but the two other ones are more special! :) 

I hope to see you joining us and than you for popping by! xxx
