New Challenge at Time Out!

Hi friends!

I'm here with my DT card for Time Out Challenges -sorry for being one day late with my card and post! 

Our challenge for the next fortnight is Inspired by Words:

"When we focus on our gratitude, 

the tide of disappointment goes out and the tide of love rushes on"

Kristin Armstrong

You can use the whole quote as your starting point or just be inspired by one word or some words like "tide", "gratitude" or "love". Plenty of possibilities here! 

 

We are sponsored by Poppy Stamps with a generous $20 gift voucher and our winner also gets called to guest design in a future challenge. This time our inspiring GD is Deb Horst. Don't miss her fabulous card or any DT inspiration and challenge details, click HERE!

I was inspired by tide (made me think of waves) and love. My card ended up having a sort of maritime color palette, so I went into the direction of a masculine love-card. The stripy wavy die from my stash is unbranded, I unfortunately don't remember where it's from... But the sentiment and background die (more waves!) are by Altenew. Hope you like and thank you for stopping by! 

I'll join:

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge: Anything Goes

New Challenge at Inkspirational!

Hi friends!

We have a new challenge for you at Inkspirational and it is 'Cold'. I knew I wanted to make a holiday/winter card and decided it was time to color in a Simon Says Stamp poinsettia stamp that I have -I've used this stamp before but have never colored it in. I used Karin markers and colored pencils for the coloring. The die cut sentiment is by Stamplorations and the heat embossed sentiment is from a Three Room Studio stamp set. My color combo is sort of "cold meets warm" and although it's maybe not super wintry... I do like it!

I hope to see you playing along. All challenge details with lots of more DT inspiration can be found HERE. Happy crafting!

New Challenge at Time Out!

Hi friends!

I'm here with my DT card for our new challenge at Time Out! For the next fortnight we want to see projects with Vintage feel. In my honest opinion I didn't 100% succeed with the vintage feel... But I tried!! 

My inspiration was Vintage Christmas Ornaments... But the light colors makes them look a little bit modern after all lol. The dark background colors and dark silver sparkly card stock for leaves and ornaments do have a vintage feel though. I used a slightly sparkly embossing powder for the poinsettia pattern in the ornaments.The background is inked to create an ombre feel. I also splattered some shiny silver water color on top of everything. I do like all the subtle shine in the card from the dark glitter card, shiny splatters and sparkly embossing powder!

Many of the products used are by Hero Arts so I'll enter the Stay Crafty With a Blog Named Hero October challenge: Holiday. HA products used: Poinsettia Flowers Bold Prints background stamp, Bulb Ornament Infinity Dies, Holly Berries Stamp and Cut XL Dies. 

Sentiment is by Waffle Flower and the tiny poinsettias are Memory box dies.
