New Challenge at Time Out!


Hi friends!

I'm here with my DT card for the new challenge at Time Out, where we are Inspired by Words this time. What we have for you is a little haiku!

   “Winter solitude-
in a world of one colour
the sound of the wind.”

 -Matsuo Basho- 




Please head on over to our challenge blog for all the challenge details, prize information and lots of more DT inspiration. This time our inspiring GD is Fran Wing and you do not want to miss the elegant, beautiful card that she made!

I decided to make a one color birthday card with wintry feel... An almost white on white design with just a grey card base and sentiment on  grey card stock. Grey is a neutral so I'm thinking this can still count as a white on white/ one color card! At least almost lol! 

The cute bird dies come from Lawn Fawn, the poinsettia circle is a Memory Box die. One of my absolutely favorite crafting materials is white glitter card stock so making this card made me very happy! A lot of white glitter card was used. :) 

I'm joining:

Apart from the grey base card, everything else is cut from snippets. :)

It took some to get my jaw off the ground Nonni! This is definitely one of the most beautiful winter birthday card I have ever seen. The birds and the poinsettia circle are perfect together! And how those touches of glitter card have added just the right amount of sparkle and contrast. Exquisite!!

Gorgeous, elegant winter birthday card, Nonni! I love the gray with the white! I have a similar circle die that I need to cut from glitter cardstock now! Thank you for the inspiration!

What a beautiful card Nonni! I remember the Poinsettias...and those Birds look like they belonged with them. And the way you added glitter, I am sure it's prettier in real life!

WOW - this is a stunning birthday card. It's so calming and peaceful. Love the dimensional flowers and the splash of grey.

Thanks for entering a piece of homework to the Snippets Playground. See you up in the treehouse for copious amounts of hot chocolate and marshmallows later. xxx

This is just gorgeous, Nonni. What a great idea to use this wreath in a white on white design. I love the bits of off white on the birds, and the gray base and sentiment strip really look beautiful.

This is so so beautiful, Nonni. I really love how beautifully you have combined Glitter White paper with Plain White. Simply Awesome. Hugsxx Deepti

The glitter cardstock adds an extra 'white' to your card to set off the different layers, Nonni. That is such a wonderful wreath with the darling little birds among the poinsettias.
