TIME OUT#227 - Photo Inspiration

We have another wonderful TIME OUT challenge for you this fortnight - my favourite type of challenge - a photo inspiration challenge:

Our sponsor for this challenge is our very own Kim and her Etsy shop - Running Stitch Design. She has created this beautiful bag not only as our inspiration photo but also as the prize for the winner of this challenge! Isn't that fabulous!
 

For my card, I decided to focus on the critters in sweaters - I don't have any stamps of dogs wearing sweaters - so I went for the next best thing - cats wearing sweaters! And I took advantage of the situation to create another holiday card.

I used the Simon Says Stamp critter sweaters stamp and die set to create the three cats in sweaters - I used emboss resist and then ironed off the clear embossing powder after inking them. The background was also created using iron-off emboss resist using Simon Says Stamp Lots of Snowflakes. The foiled greeting and curve cut were created with some Spellbinders Kit of the Month products.

Our Guest Designer for this challenge is Sidan of wenig oder viel who was the winner of challenge #224 - we are thrilled to have her join us for this challenge :)

Thanks for stopping by!
