Time Out #316 - Photo Inspiration

 A photo submitted by team member Carol is our inspiration at Time Out.

I zoomed in on the windows and came up with this card.

The window die is from Memory Box cut in black. The view is a panel with a Rabbit Hole stencil in Salty Ocean for the sky and whatever green was left on my brush for the bushes.  To bring in more color, I used C9's Woven Stripes background stamp in CP It's a Girl ink as my wallpaper but the weave makes it look like the towel in the photo.  Or so I told myself.  lol  

We hope you'll join us for this challenge sponsored by Lawn Fawn.  The Design Team has cards to inspire you and the winner will receive a $25 store credit and an invitation to guest design.

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.

Time Out #266 - Photo Challenge

Welcome to the challenge at Time Out.  This week it's a photo inspiration.

I'm glad it says 'inspiration' because I have nothing in the way of stamps that look like the photo.  I was inspired by the color of the sky and clouds.

My 'clouds' are actually dogwood from Honey Bee.  I got the soft background by using my long neglected Clarity brushes with Broken China Distress Ink.  Since I seem to have a heavy hand using regular blending brushes those have come in handy lately. The flowers are done in Altenew Pastel Sunrise and the embossed frame is SSS's Blossom Field.  

Lawn Fawn is the sponsor of this challenge and they will award the winner a $25 store credit.  We're being joined by Joyce Mehrberg as the winner of challenge #262.  Please check out what she and the rest of the Design Team have made for your inspiration.
