Time Out #234

It's Words to be Inspired By at Time Out.

You can be inspired by one or more words, a phrase or the feeling you get. I kind of went with the entire saying.

I masked off the Bristol cardstock diagonally down the middle and used Distress Inks to color each side. A die cut sun from EbyE and clouds from PTI speak to the summer light, winter shade portion of the saying. The sentiment is from Dare2B Artzy.

Time Out #230 - Inspired by Words

It's time for the Inspired by Words challenge at TIme Out. You can use any part of the quote or the feeling it evokes to make your card.

Word challenges are not always easy for me but sometimes an idea just pops into your head and it seems to be the perfect card.

I knew right away I wanted to use these darling bears from Penny Black. I had to mask off the presents that were in the foreground and extend the dock. The image is colored with PolyChromos pencils. A heart from EbyE and some paper from Honey Bee finished it off.

AALL and Create is the sponsor for this challenge and the winner will receive a $20 store credit.

If you need some inspiration, the Design Team has wonderful cards for you on the blog.
