TIME OUT #72 - CASEing Kim

I can't believe this is the second last TIME OUT CASE challenge of the year - 2016 has just flown by! This week, we are CASE-ing Kim from Cupcakes, Cards, and Kim - I am sure that you are already familiar with her gorgeous cards but if not, make sure you stop by her blog for some wonderful inspiration.

Here is the card she gave us to CASE - so pretty!!!




We also have a great Guest Designer - Deepti from Handmade by Deepti - she is a regular TIME OUT player who always has great cards so we are thrilled to have her join us this week!

Here is my take on the challenge:



I loved the tangle of flowers on Kim's card - it brought to mid a tangle of Christmas lights so that is what I wanted to do. Unfortunately, I did not have a tangle of lights stamp though so I used a string of lights stamp from Your Next Stamp, and stamped them repeatedly across the card front - shifting them on each row to make it appear as though they were different strings. I coloured the lights with Copics - using the same colours that Kim chose for her card - and I coated each bulb with a generous layer of clear Spectrum Noir shimmer. I added a white embossed Mama Elephant greeting on a black circle - I thought the scripty style of the greeting mirrored the CASE card too.

I can't wait to see how Kim's card inspires you - so take some TIME OUT and join us!
Thanks for stopping by!
Jill
