TIME OUT#78 - 3rd Birthday Friendship/Love Challenge


This week's Time Out Challenge is a really special one - it is our third birthday!!!! I have always loved Time Out - I played along almost every fortnight until I joined the DT a year and a half ago - and I want to thank Sandie and Nonni for all their hard work in brining this wonderful challenge to life, and keeping it so inspiring with all their wonderful ideas!!!!

Our challenge this week is really appropriate for our celebration - we want to see your cards focused on Love and Friendship - with an optional twist of spotlight stamping where you add color only to one raised spot of your image.

We are so lucky to have so many wonderful sponsors for our Birthday - there are so many prizes up for grabs - some for the top picks and also for a random entry that includes the optional twist of spotlight stamping.




We are also so lucky to have Ardyth join us as our guest designer - I am in constant awe of her gorgeous cards, and I love her amazing CAS style.

Here is what I came up with for the challenge:



I used the MFT Bundles of Blossoms background stamp - stamped in HA Soft Granite on the card base and in black on another panel. I used Copics to colour the panel and then die cut it with a Winnie & Walter "Hi" die. I popped the Hi up over the corresponding pattern on the base card and finished off with a few dew drops.

We can't wait to see your creations as you join us for this Birthday party!

Thanks for stopping by!
Jill

    Thank you for your lovely words Jill, we love having you on the DT and I look forward to seeing your cards every challenge as your creativity seems to bloom more and more. This card is no exception. The colouring is so rich in colour and really jumps off the page. The background in this light colour really helps with this x

    Jill, you have outdone yourself with this one. I have that die and haven't used it (sigh), but this makes me want to run home and make something like this. Fantastic idea, fantastic coloring, all around FANTASTIC!!!

    OMGosh I LOVE this card! It's got to be one of my all-time favorites! It's so retro and reminds me of the '70s style (My younger years!)! It's so cool!
