Time Out #308- Happy 12th Birthday!

That's right.  Time Out is 12 years old.  You can read about its start on the blog.  For this challenge we welcome Stef Perry as our muse and she has created a card for all of us to CASE. 


Here's a closer look.

Stef does a beautiful job of coloring flowers and while she used alcohol markers for hers, I went with a different medium.


It all started with gold embossing Hello Beautiful from Altenew and then using the stencils to color the flowers. The background panel was trimmed down and embossed with the Time Worn Type folder by SU.  Before adding it to a C9 Nutmeg card base, a few gold splatters were added.  The sentiment is from BetterPress foiled in gold. 

We hope you will CASE Stef's card for the challenge  Please be sure to tell us how you were inspired.

Hello Beautiful card! LOve the 'plaster' texture that Time Worn Type brings to your background, Bobby! Really gorgeous! Congrats to this 12th birthday - have you been on the team all that time?

Beautiful CASE, Bobby! I love the embossing, but your gentle fade instead of harsh stenciled lines is what captured my heart! Don't get me wrong, I love layered stencils but I tend to go light so I don't have a distinctive line and you MASTERED that! Beautiful
