TIME OUT Reminder!


Hi friends,
I'm here to remind you of our current challenge at TIME OUT. Due to breast cancer month our theme is:

Breast Cancer Awareness and/or Friendship 

This challenge is sponsored by CAS-ual Fridays and the winner will receive a $25 voucher to their store! Wonderful prize, right! 


In my DT card I'm playing with a wonderful stamp set by CAS-ual Fridays: Casual Comfort . I got this design idea immediately after seeing this stamp set but I must confess it's not my own: if you click HERE you'll see my "inspiration for one layer cards- Pinterest board" and find many examples of this kind of simple masking/layered stamping cards. I used a pink DI for sponging and and ink brushing my masked area and stamped some flower stems with that same ink, then I continued to stamp with black ink and in the end I did a couple of stems with golden Delicata ink. My DT buddy Jill used gold in her pink/white card last week and I loved it, I wanted to try the same color combo! Thanks Jill! I also used some sequins we DT members got as an extra gift from CAS-ual Fridays. Michele is always so generous to us, thank you so much!

Now it's your turn to take TIME OUT and craft if you haven't already! :) Please check our blog for even more DT inspiration from our design team members and wonderfully artistic guest designer Yulia

Oh I am going ti check out that Pin board. I just love your super skill of blending. I keep meaning to ask you the technique tips you taught me when you were here, about the more ink on the sponge....do you remember...the basic simple steps...I have forgotten them. When you get chance, can you remind me and I will write it down! I love the soft sponging here and you are right the gold looks perfect x

Stunning design. Love the soft sponging and how the design fades out from above and has a stark stop below.

Beautiful card, Nonni. I love everything about it - the inking and stamping, the colours and sentiment. xx

This is so beautiful Nonni. That crisp masking line and the placement of the sentiment is fantastic. The colors are wonderful and I love the way the background fades toward the top.
