Time Out #153

I remember when Hannelie would make cards based on some of her wardrobe.  Now Time Out has made that their challenge.  How fun is that?!
I've been wanting to use my Altenew metallic watercolors since I got them a couple months ago.  This design proved to be a good place to break them out.  I heat embossed the flowers and butterfly from Altenew's Hibiscus Garden in white and die cut them.  Color was added to the butterfly (see photo below).  It seemed perfect for a sympathy card with a sentiment from MCS.

.Thanks for dropping by.  Have you ever made a card inspired by something in your closet?

Beautiful card, Bobby, and I love how you were inspired by your dress. I am often inspired by patterns I see in other people's clothes when I am at the gym. I always see really cool patterns on people's leggings. Thanks so much for playing along at Time Out.

I love your card, Bobby. This idea of taking inspiration from within our closets is FAB. I am hoping to enter, but not sure if I'll have time. Your black base really is eye catching and lovely.

I run a fun challenge blog called Word Art Wednesday. The challenges are always Anything Goes/Family Friendly, and I would be delighted to have you stop by and share your wonderful art with us. We have AWESOME sponsors (which means awesome prizes), and it would be a real treat to have you share your creations with us. I hope you will stop by and join us soon.
Blessings to you,

What a beautiful card Bobby and thanks for the close up of the butterfly so we can see the lovely color! And what perfect inspiration you had for this card too! Do the saddle shoes I made on my little girl in my post for today count as some part of clothing to be inspired by? :0)

Hmmm. Maybe I should take a different view of my closet. Love your white embossed butterflies with that bit of metallic color! Such a classy card, Bobby!

Wow! So dramatic and creative Bobby! Love the all black with the white outlined flowers. Very striking. Your butterfly is gorgeous and the pop of colour really adds a special element. xx
