Time Out #286

It's time for another Pick Two at Time Out

A pick two means you need to take at least two of the words listed in the banner and use them on your card.  I went with spots, floral and pastel.


It all started with a polka dot paper from my stash and the Honey Bee April Showers die set.  I pulled the colors from the dots for my flowers and used a trick I learned from Marcia Hill who learned it from Leslie Miller to use packing tape on your cardstock to get a shiny finish.  That's what I did with the boots.  The sentiment is from Altenew's Weekend Doodles. 

Gina K is the sponsor for this challenge and she is offering a $25 store credit.  Let's go see what the Design Team has made to inspire you.  We'd love to see your card in our gallery.

Pretty spring card with those shiny boots and lovely blooms and dotted umbrella. I like how you chose the flower colors from the polka dots on the umbrella.

Bobby, this is absolutely stunning! I've yet to put that trick to use but it is perfect for those wellies!
Maybe for the umbrella, too! What a wonderful pick of posies you've made for your bouquet!

What a pretty card, Bobby! Pretty spectacular -- only second to your other ink-blended/phone case card!

Helen said...

Wow! I just love your beautiful card Bobby! Everthing about it is wonderful. I hadn't heard about the tape on the boots. Is it just regular tape and then die cut? What a great trick!! Your sweet colours are perfect!! I hope you have a lovely weekend! Enjoy!! :)

Fabulous Bobby! Such a pretty arrangement and that umbrella is simply gorgeous! I usually get that shiny appearance with glossy accents - never occurred to me to use packing tape which is a much more elegant solution (and won’t take a day to dry)! Hugs,Kate!
