Time Out #307

Time Out has a photo challenge featuring a bag made by former design team member Kim Heggins.  The winner will receive the bag as their prize.


The stripes and polka dots sent me searching for patterned paper in my extremely large stash.

What first jumped out at me was the striped panel that was a freebie from Honey Bee.  I didn't have any lavender dots so I made my own using C9 Lilac cardstock and the Dot Fade stencil from TH with Unicorn White ink.  Altenew's Garden Rose was cut from it and some of the petals popped up.  The sentiment is a hot foiled one from SB.

You will be amazed at how creative the Design Team is with this photo challenge. Go check them out and be inspired to make a card.

Bobby, a fabulous representation of the bag. Die-cutting the flowers from the polka dot paper was a wonderful touch. I love all the layers and that striped background perfectly captures the base of the bag. Love it
