TIME OUT #173 - Photo Inspiration

This fortnight at TIME OUT, we have my favourite type of challenge - photo inspiration :) Check out the pretty inspiration photo below: 

Our sponsor for this challenge is Altenew - they are offering the challenge winner a $20 gift voucher :)

I took a pretty litteral take on the inspiration photo for my project. I started with a piece of kraft card stock and used a die cut (Altenew - Delicate Mandala) as a mask before sponging some brown ink over the panel and then stamping a woodgrain (Altenew - A Walk In The Woods) over it in the same brown ink. I trimmed the panel and mounted it onto a white card base. I added some layered die cut leaves (Altenew - Garden Picks) with different heights of foam tape and then finished off with a white embossed greeting on a black carstock strip.

Our fabulous guest designer for this challenge is Rhamat from Cards and Cooking Corner - so stop by her blog to see how she was inspired by this photo.

Thanks for stopping by :)

TIME OUT #172 - Breast Cancer Awareness

This fortnight, we have our annual Breast Cancer Awareness challenge at TIME OUT - we want to see your projects that give support, show encouragement, and maybe include a little bit of pink :)

Our sponsor for this challenge is CAS-ual Friday Stamps - who have an amazing selection of both breast cancer awareness and encouragement stamps - they are offering the winner a $25 gift voucher to their store :)

I decided to use a couple of CAS-ual Friday stamp sets for my card - I used the Peaceful Garden set to stamp the layered blooms (the centre layer is heat embossed in light pink sparkle powder) and I used  the Mon Ami set for the greeting. The one layer panel was mounted on a dark pink card base for an extra touch of pink.

Our wonderful guest designer for this challenge is Cardogram - you should definitely check out her project for this challenge - it is gorgeous!

Thanks for stopping by!
