Time Out #320 - Photo Inspiration

We have a gorgeous photo taken by team member Kate for our inspiration this fortnight at Time Out. 

I hadn't used my alcohol inks in quite a while and knew they would make the best panel for my card.

Pinkfresh Studio's Stained Glass die was cut from black and placed over the top.  The sentiment from C9's Shine Brighter was heat embossed on vellum and turned into a sticker with my Xyron. 

We are sponsored by Top Flight who will give the winner a $25 store credit.  The team is also being joined by Jane Taylor as a guest designer.

Color Hues #139 and NBUS #89

I had a new die set and new fun fold I wanted to try for the Color Hues challenge hosted by my friend Marcia.  And since it's all new I'm sending my card to Darnell's NBUS. 

The die set is the Craft a Flower African Daisy from Altenew and I must admit I ordered the wrong one.  I meant to get the Lush Botanicals African Daisy which comes with an embossing folder and has a totally different look.   The flowers were cut in light yellow and shaded with Orange Cream Altenew ink in the center and on the ends.  The leaves are Altenew Green Gold, which I hope is a neutral since it looks brown.    

For the card I wanted to try a card I saw Jennifer McGuire make using Pinkfresh Studio Blanket Stitch Bracket.  Here you can see how it pops up.

And it will stand on its own.

The background looked a little bare so I smooshed some Scattered Straw Distress Ink.  The sentiment is from Spellbinders Just Add Cake.  

Thanks for dropping by and spending a bit of your day with me.

Freshly Made Sketches #749

Today's card is for Freshly Made Sketches based on a sketch by Jen B.

I bought this SSS Wonky Tree die a few years ago when I was at CREATE.  I may have made one or two cards with it last year but I had it with me and decided it would work great with the design and to add to my Christmas stash.  I pulled out a bunch of cardstock scraps and cut each of the three tree sections in every color.  That way I could play around putting them together and end up with extra trees.  The glitter strip is from Altenew's Moonstone and the silver embossed sentiment is from Pinkfresh Studio. 

I put the extras all on one card.

I'll add a sentiment when I have access to one I think will fit across the bottom and put the panel on a card base.

Just Us Girls #836 - Word Week

I'm the host for Word Week at Just Us Girls and I have chosen "Water".

I've had to make a couple of other cards featuring water so I had to put my thinking cap on and come up with enough cards to cover them all.  For this one I used all die cuts.

I cut a panel with C9's Wavy Card Front die, then inked the various sections with the Lapis Lazuli set of Altenew Inks.  I tucked the boat from Spellbinders Set Sail under one of the cuts.  

What does the word water bring to your mind?  I hope you'll join our guest Betty Keefe and the Design Team by making a card for the challenge.
