Time Out #322 - Inspired By Challenge

 There's an Inspired By challenge at Time Out and we want you to be inspired by the colors of the season where you live. 

As the weather turns colder, mid September can start the changing of colors here in mid-Michigan where I will be until the end of this month and I love the variety that the trees turn.

  

I smooshed panels with a variety of Distress Inks from which to cut the images from Tim Holtz's Foliage Wreath.  It's on a panel embossed with the Dancing Starlets folder from SSS.  

Our sponsor for this challenge is Gina K and the winner will be awarded a $25 store credit along with an invitation to guest design.  

Since we have followers and a Design Team from all over the world, we should see a wide range of colors choices for cards for this challenge.  I hope you'll join us.

CAS Mix-Up September Reminder

There is still time to play along with the CAS Mix-Up Challenge this month.  I'm hosting and our prompt is 

I hope you'll join me and my teammates for this fun and colorful challenge.  I have another card to inspire you.

One of Papertrey Ink's Botanical Blocks was heat embossed in gold on Bristol Smooth and colored with Zig Real Brush Markers.  After adding the sentiment from MFT, the panel was placed on Pumpkin Pie cardstock from SB.  This is to show you that 'white space' doesn't need to be white and the card is still Clean and Simple. 

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

Krafty Chicks #837

I've been trying to get more Christmas cards made and did one last month that I'm sending to Krafty Chicks for their Christmas challenge.

The jolly old elf is Santa Greetings from Tim Holtz. Instead of the letters that came with the die set, I used the ones from Simon Hurley's Mantle Decorations because they were smaller.  I used the letters that punch out of the banner instead of the banner pieces themselves and that was fun trying to remove the double-sided adhesive from those tiny little pieces.  The background paper is from a pack by The Paper Studio.

Color Hues #140 and NBUS #90

I took advantage of a couple of sales and used several of the items for Color Hues and Darnell's NBUS.

The NBUS flowers are Penny Black's Refresh colored with Stormy Sky Distress Ink.  The same ink was used to edge my new Flower Puff embossing folder from SSS.  For the brown, I used Frayed Burlap on PB's Ascending.  The sentiment is from SB Just Add Cake.
