Time Out #278

 Happy Holidays!  That's the theme for this challenge at Time Out.

For my card I used what I made with the very first outing of my BetterPress machine using Spellbinders Christmas Greetings.

The design was pressed into cotton paper with BetterPress ink and then colored with Distress Inks. The sentiment is included in the set.  I've learned a lot about the system since this inaugural card but I'm still still happy with how it turned out. 

Gina K is the sponsor for this challenge and will be awarding our winner a $25 store credit.  Please check out what the Design Team and our guests have made to inspire you to include a card in our challenge.
