This week at Time Out we challenge you to be Elegant.
I struggled with my card. Not because I can't do elegant but because according to Murphy's Law everything than can go wrong will. I won't bore you with the details. Let's just say I kept going and ended up with a not too shabby card.
Altenew is our sponsor for this challenge and I used their Garden Rose Craft-a-Flower dies. This is actually my second attempt at purple flowers. I didn't like where the petals were supposed to go so on this version I moved the smaller pieces. Everything was cut from medium purple and inked in the center with Villianous Poison Distress Ink. To add that touch of elegance, the edges were touched with TH Foundry Wax in gold. The leaves from Altenew's Cosmos CAF were cut from a matte gold. I thought it needed more so I used some Distress Spray in Tarnished Brass to splatter by removing the plugged nozzle and flicking it on with a brush. The spray ended up looking more white on the flowers but what could I do?
What does the word Elegant mean to you? The Design Team has plenty of inspiration for you. We hope you'll join us for this challenge.
