Time Out Challenges Reminder


Hi friends!
I'm here to remind you of our current challenge at TIME OUT. We are being Inspired By Words: 


A very popular challenge already and I hope you'll also join us! This challenge is sponsored by STAMPlorations. You could win a $15 coupon to their store!


In my card I've used a STAMPlorations stamp, Framed Dahlia, heat embossed with white on Bristol paper. I then sponged a wash of salmon colored DI on top. I begun watercoloring by removing some of the salmon ink from the flowers with a wet brush and then just watercolored several layers of DI:s without much planning or precision! The card base is covered with a brusho bg I had made earlier, it matched the colors of my watercoloring nicely. I completed the card with a die cut Winnie and Walter sentiment. 

Now I hope you'll head on over to our challenge blog for more inspiration from our DT and talented guest designer Kristina. She is someone whose coloring skills are just mind-blowing!!! Thanks for popping by and happy crafting!

I'd like to enter:
Stamping Sensations: Close to Nature
Penny Black and More: Anything Goes
my 3rd and final entry to both of these challenges

What a beauty, that vibrant background really make the white shine through and doesn't steel the show, but it doesn't go unnoticed. Loving this whole design xx

What a fantastic sense of depth in both the background and the floral panel, Nonni ... the crisp white is gorgeous against that lovely salmon-y orange! Hugs, Anita :)

When I first saw this, I thought the backgrund was done with alcohol inks because it is so bright and flowy - I can't believe it was Brusho-ed - it is so gorgeous! I love the way you paired it with the white embossed framed flowers - they go beautifully together.

The brusho background is so much more than ‘just a background’ or white space. It’s what makes this card look truly amazing.
