TIME OUT Challenges Reminder!


Hi friends!
I'm here to remind you of our current theme challenge at TIME OUT:

Winter 
with the Optional Twist of
White on White

If you twist along with us you could win a 15 £ voucher from Uniko. Do not hesitate to play along! More DT inspiration in our challenge blog! This time our GD is the fabulous Claire whose style is just wonderful and varies from CAS to more detailed makes with great coloring. 

I decided not to twist this time because of my new STAMPlorations CUTplorations tag dies that I wanted to use... I did some ombre sponging with my fave DI colors and after that stamped some "snow" to the tag with white pigment ink and a Marianne Design bg stamp as well. The white card base is dry embossed with a snowflake-folder and I've also used my die cut machine for the MFT thanks-word. Love this die! The Lawn Fawn snowman, colored in with Copics and white gel pen and die cut, finishes of this simple card. 

It always makes me happy when I end up with a simple looking card that needed quite a lot of effort... I'm funny that way! :) It's hard to define CAS sometimes and this definitely is on the edge of not CAS... But I think the overall look is still clean and simple and nothing is really super busy when you look at the card. To my eye at least. ;)

I hope to see you playing along at TIME OUT!

    Love seeing a tag on a card Nonnie and your tag card is absolutely beautiful. Your ombré is flawless and the colours are so beautiful. The pigment ink add so much interest to it. A perfect background for the cute snowman. Thanks so much for joining us at Less is More xx

    I too have difficulty judging what's CAS or not, but I'd definitely put this one in the CAS category. I've been making quite a few clean cards lately, perhaps not CAS, but definitely clean and single layered too. Beautiful colors here.

    Hi Nonni. So sorry I've taken so long to somment, but I so love your wintery creation for this challenge. You inking is so wonderful on the tag - wonderful combo of colors, and that little snowman is so adorable nestled between the "h" and the "k" in "thanks". For what it's worth, it's CAS to me, but it's so true that that term is so widely interpreted! Happy New Year, and huge thank you for your wonderful holiday card. I loved it, and it's so nice to have in hand, something that was hand made by someone known from afar. I just love that. xx S

    This is so pretty Nonni - I love the colour combo that you used for the tag background - so wintery and wonderful! I would say that your card is CAS but everyone has their own definition of that term :)
