TIME OUT #160 - Photo Inspiration

I hope everyone is staying safe right now - and maybe getting in a little bit of crafty time. If you are looking for some inspiration, we have a great challenge at TIME OUT - we are asking you to create a project inspired by this bold photo:

 

Our challenge is sponsored by Uniko who are offering the winner an in stock stamp set of their choice :)

For this challenge, I was inspired by the fabric on the back of the chair so I pulled out one of my most used stamp sets, English Country Garden Butterflies from Uniko. I stamped the butterflies in a grid pattern across the whole card paneland the coloured the background with a yellow Copic. I finished the card with a die cut greeting from Honey Been (black cardstock on vellum). I debated adding Nuvo drops or sequins but I finally decided to leave it just so.

Our Guest Designer for this challenge is Ana from Ana Artdiary - we are thrilled to have her join us :)

Thanks so much for stopping by!

TIME OUT #159 - Inspired By Words

We have some wonderful words to inspire you to create at TIME OUT this fortnight:

Our sponsor for this challenge is Newton's Nook who are offering the winner a $25 store credit :) - they have a wonderful selection of stamps of Newton with books but unfortunately, I don't have any in my stash so I opted to use a NBUS Ton stamp set called Haute Books to create my library inspired scene. I wanted to create a softer look on this card so I stamped in grey ink and I coloured with my Prismacolours (I don't do a lot of pencil crayon colouring). I also used a soft colour scheme - they don't show up very well in the photo lighting - and I highlighted with silver-gold with the Sakura sparkle pen and the Wink of Stella glitter pen (again- doesn't show in the photos but I love how it catches the light IRL!)

I hope you find some inspiration from these words and find some TIME OUT to play along with us!

Thanks so much for stopping by!
