TIME OUT #212 - Spring

We have a new Seasonal challege for you this fortnight at TIME OUT - we want you to be inspired by Spring!

We are very lucky to have Poppystamps joining us again as a sponsor - they are offering the winner a $15 store credit :)

When I think of Spring, I think of the mix of seasons - and the first blooms peeking up from the ground in the snow. That is what is was like here 2 days ago - the crocuses are out but we still got 5cm of snow!

I embossed a Simon Says floral background stamp in Liquid Platinum embossing powder and then practised some watercolouring in some Springtime colours - with a few splatters added for the snow effect :) The die cut greeting is from Concord & 9th.

Our talented guest designer for this challenge is Asa J of scrapat helt enkelt - we are thrilled to have her join us!

Thanks for stopping by!

TIME OUT #211- Photo Inspiration

 We have a beautiful phto to inspire you this fortnight at TIME OUT Challenges:

We are very lucky to have Poppystamps as our sponsor for this challenge - they are generously offering the challenge winner a $15 gift voucher for their store :)

I took my inspiration from the trees in the photo and used the "Through the Trees" stamp from Pinkfresh Studios. Stamp once in light green onto light blue cardstock, then rotated 180 degrees and stamped again in dark green. I wanted to see whether I could apply hot foil to an image stamped on coloured cardstock and it worked well. Bothe the frame and the greeting are from Spellbinders and were hotfoiled onto the image using copper foil. Really pretty in real life :) 

We are very lucky to be joined by Lisa from My Paper Tales as a guest designer :)

Thanks so much for stopping by!
