First up is TIME OUT. I hate to tell you how many times I tried to make a card for this challenge. Nothing looked good. I was doing my old "follow the photo exactly" thing and I learned my lesson. Go with what speaks to me.

I tried strips of nearly matched to the photo DP with feathers of different colors. I tried paper piecing an arrow. I almost gave up when I found a piece of paper that gave the essence of the photo and everything fell together.
I cut up the bottom like the opening of the tepee and used that space for my sentiment from HA. I clear embossed the feathers from Clearly Besotted and colored them with Distress Inks. I'm happy now.
This next card I made for CASE this Sketch.
I just got an order with a darling dragonfly die and knew it was meant to be.
Isn't she just precious? I cut her from colored vellum and sparkle embossed it to give it that shine. Sorry it doesn't show in the photo. I cut a body from black and used black sparkle embossing powder on it. The flower from Memory Box is four layers, two white and two green. Finishing it off is a sentiment from Penny Black. Since the colors look lime and aqua, I'm also sending this to The Card Concept Challenge as clean and simple.
Thanks for stopping by. I won't be able to visit you for a while but I'll try to catch up when I get back on Thursday. Happy Creating!

I am so gad you kept trying for the TIME OUT card and it is has ended up just perfect and I especially like the creative take in the opening of the teepee. Thanks for joining us at TIME OUT x
Wow! What gorgeous cards! Love them both, but the one with the dragonfly is just simply stunning! So pretty! Thanks so much for joining us at The Card Concept! :)
You were inspired with that DP and those delightful feathers, Bobby, they're gorgeous together ... love the fun way you've added the sentiment! I've had my eye on a dragonfly die for a while and have been resisting ... but this has my resolve weakening. Stunning sparkly pops of colour against the white on white ... just beautiful! Happy painting! Anita :)
Great cards and I really love the dragonfly die.

What a cute card with the dragonfly, Bobby. I like your take on the challenge, no ribbons, no hexagons :)
Two stunning cards, Bobby, both winners in my eye! I love the way you did the teepee cut angle on the first and the second, well, the second one I just want to eat with a spoon!! Enjoy your time with your family! Hugs, Darnell

Hey there just wanted to give you a quick heads up. The words in your post seem to be running off the
screen in Ie. I'm not sure if this is a formatting
issue or something to do with web browser compatibility but I figured I'd post to let
you know. The layout look great though! Hope you get the issue resolved soon. Cheers
