New Challenge at TIME OUT!


Hi friends!
We have a new challenge for you at TIME OUT Challenges. The next fortnight we are inspired by words

'May All your weeds be wild flowers'

You can be inspired of the whole sentiment or just choose one or more words for your starting point. Our Guest Designer Julia and our regular DT members have wonderful samples for you, don't forget to check them out! 

In my card I used a Penny Black flower stamp and a sentiment from a Woodware set. Is it even Woodware? Something like that anyway. :) After making my bg with blue DI:s I played with my MISTI: I stamped the flower several times with different colored ZIG water color markers and water as demonstrated in Virginia Lu's fantastic video tutorial here. Wonderful technique, I think this turned out lovely! My card base is pure white, don't know where the pinkish undertone creeped in to the photo, grrr. ;)

Before heading off I want to let you know we are sponsored by Clearly Besotted Stamps. They are offering a 15 pounds voucher to use in their store to our winner. Happy crafting!

I'm entering:

CASology stencil (my bg was stenciled through a die cut opening in a card) 


Cuttlebug Mania: May flowers (I used a spellbinders die for making my bg stencil)

What a glorious card! So clever to use the die cut negative as a stencil then colour it so beautifully.

I'm not sure where my original comment went, so adding a new one:)
So impressed by this artsy style, reminds me of the artwork of the old Dutch or French painters. The orange stands in great contrast to the blue background.

Pretty card Nonni! Lighting is often the issue when white cardstock appears another color. Doesn't matter - its a great card. Thanks for joining us at CASology this week.
