Our TIME OUT challenge this fortnight is all about the background - we are asking you to create your own
I love photo inspiration challenges - definitely my favourite type of challenge and we have a great one for you this week at TIME OUT
When I first looked at this photo, I thought about watercolouring or ink blending a sunset scene and then using some silhouette stamp - but then I looked at my desk and spotted some MFT floral circle dies that I just had to have but still haven't used - and I thought it might be fun to go in a different direction. I created my "sunset" scene behind each of the silhouette circles by using coloured card stock strips. I pulled the colours from the photo - light blue, orange, yellow, pink, and dark blue - I never would have put these colours together but somehow they worked (see why I love inpiration photos!). I kept the rest of the card very simple - an MFT white embossed greeting on a strip of the same dark blue that I used behind the image and a few droplets to embellish.
We are very lucky to have Deepti from Handmade By Deepti join us as GD for this challenge. Deepti is a regular player (and winner!) and we are always so inpired by her creations.
Thanks for stopping by!

We have agreat TIME OUT Challenge fo you this fortnight - some inspiring words from one of my husband's favourite actor/comedians - Steve Martin:
We are so thrilled to have Cas-ual Fridays Stamps sponsoring us for this challenge by offering the winner a $25 store credit :)
I decided to focus on the sunshine part of the quote - and the overall feeling of it - which I associated with hope. I love this Hero Arts My MOnthly Hero kit and I thought it would be perfect for the challenge. I can't take credit for the design of this card - I was really inspired by Channin Pelletier's card here using a stained glass technique for the die cut. I used a sparkly pico embellisher to fill in the work and I used the yellow sparkle embossing powder that came with the kit fo rthe sun rays - so there is some sparkle in this design even though the picture doesn't capture it.
We are so happy to have Trina Pham of Phamtastic Design joining us this week - her designs are gorgeous and sure to provides oodles of inspiration.
Thanks so much for stopping by!

With summer coming soon, we have the perfect TIME OUT Challenge to get you in the mood to enjoy it - a vaction theme challenge!
We are thrilled to have Lawn Fawn sponsoring us again for this challenge - generously offering the winner a $25 gift voucher :)
I always think of travel when I think of vaction - so I created a simple card using iron-off emboss resist, and ink blending using an older Clearly Besotted set. The greeting is from Neat & Tangled.
We have a new Seasonal challege for you this fortnight at TIME OUT - we want you to be inspired by Spring!
