New Post at Time Out!


Hello friends!
Our new challenge at Time Out is a very fun one. Because we go live on a Leap Day, we have chosen a fun photo with a frog for your inspiration! Do note though that you do not need to use a frog for the challenge -you can be inspired by the colors, shapes, patterns of the photo or just see where the photo leads you! We look forward seeing your creative takes! Lots of DT inspiration and all the challenge details HERE. This time Vicki joins us as guest designer and you do not want to miss her fun and playful card! 


The butterfly dies in my card come from our sponsor Lawn Fawn. I used sparkly, mirror type speciality card for cutting the details for the wings, thinking about the colors and textures of the photo. The background was inspired by "bubbles" on the the black platform the frog is sitting on -I used a Jane's Doodles stencil and clear sparkly embossing powder for creating it. The sentiment is a ready made sentiment strip from a local store.

Before I go I unfortunately need to let you all know that this is the last challenge where Gerrina will be part of our design team. Gerrina has created inspiration for Time Out for all of our existence, for 10 years... Which is quite an achievement and not something many crafters have done for one design team. We are truly grateful for Gerrina for all of her hard work and dedication. Thank you for the 10 years together, Gerrina! We'd love you to head on over to Gerrina's blog and let her know how much her artsy work has been appreciated over the years. 


I'd like to join:
Little Red Wagon: Stencil Power 
Simon Says Wednesday: Anything Goes
Allsorts Challenge: Things That Fly
(all of my die cutting for the butterfly was made out of snippets. The pieces of mirror card were left overs from holiday card making in 2022!)

You captured the colors and textures of the image beautifully and I do like the effect of a black background. The sparkle shows really nicely.

I adore your sparkly butterflies. Their white outline stands out so wonderfully against the black, and the sparkles in their wings are so colorful and look fantastic. Love the glimmery dots on the black background too. Great take on our photo.

I can just imagine how th is sparkles in real life and the contrast on the stenciled black background just makes it pop even more. Thanks so much for joining us this week at Little Red Wagon!
