Waffle Flower September 2021Challenge

My friend and TIME OUT teamie, Nonni, is guest designing for the Waffle Flower September 2021 Challenge - so of course I had to play along :) 

I decided to highlight the Waffle Flower Bear Hugs stamp in my design - I thought it would be perfect for a Thanksgiving card. I started by creating a custom leaf frame for the design - I used a leaf from an older Winnie & Walter set - and stamped and masked and stamped and masked and stamped and.... you get the picture. I coloured the leaves with Copics and fussy cut the centre of the frame.

I stamped the Bear Hugs image onto a separate card panel and Copic coloured it. I then foam mounted the leaf frame on top. The greeting is also from Waffle Flower - I used the negative letters from Year Round Word Dies "Happy" and "Thanksgiving" and adhered them to a Copic coloured Cardstock strip - I love the effect this created - a little bit like a Dymo label with the raised letters.

My card fits the following categories in the challenge: leaves, critters, using an iconic Fall image 3 times (red maple leaf).

Thanks so much for stopping by!

TIME OUT #196 - Brave

 We have a great TIME OUT challenge for you this fortnight - we are challenging you to be brave.

We are lucky to have a fabulous sponsor for this challenge - Funky Fossil Designs is offering the challenge winner a £15 gift voucher to their store :)

There are lots of different ways to interpret this challenge - you can create an encouragement card, focus on some brave imagery (like lions or warriors) or do what I did and create a project focused on the spookiest day of the year - Halloween! Make sue you check out all the different types of inspiration from our design team and our incredible GD - Rhamat from Cards and Cooking Corner.

My card is very simple this week - I used an older Clearly Besotted set and stamped the bat repeatedly in the background with Versamark before heat embossing with some black sparkle embossing powder. The greeting was heat embossed in lime green on a small strip and foam mounted.

Thanks so much for stopping by!
