Winnie & Walter WCMD 2018 Challenge

I  have a few cards to share that I made for Winnie & Walter`s World Card Making Day Challenges. Here are the three cards that I made (apologies for the photos - lighting issues :( ):

First up is this one:

To create the card panel I spread some black Viva Decor modelling paste through the Into the Woods Creative Screenings onto a white panel. Once it was dry, I trimmed it down and die cut the bottom with the Hello die. I added the panel to a black card base - I then added the two birds die cuts and the hello die cut - all cut from magenta cardstock and sponged with some Picked Raspberry. The die cuts were also coated with some shimmer. The rest of the greeting was heat embossed in white - it is from the Sending You stamp set.

I took an extra picture of the die cuts because it is hard to see the shading and shine in the photo:

This card is being entered into the following challenges:

• Black and White background challenge
• Dress Up Your Die Cuts challenge

Next card is this one:

I die cut the heart shape into some acetate and then sponged the hearts using 4 different shades of Altenew pink ink. I white heat embossed some words from the Sending You stamp set into each of the hearts, and added a gold foil Hugs die cut. I embellished with a strip of gold foiled patterned paper and a few gold hearts - cut using the Audrey cutaways.

This card is being entered into the following challenges:

• Coordinating Die Colouring Challenge
•  Clean and Simple Challenge

And the last card:

I clear heat embossed the Technique Tuesday Number Game onto some Tim Holtz water colour paper before adding some colour using shimmer water colours. I then removed the embossing using the iron of technique. I added the frame with some foam tape before also popping up the Copic coloured Happy Dance elephant and the Sentimental Birthday white embossed greeting. I also added some tiny sparkly stars.

This card is being entered into the following challenges:

• Number Cruncher Challenge
• Image Mash Up Challenge (Happy Dance, Sentimental Birthday, TT Number Game)

Thanks so much for stopping by!

TIME OUT #120 - Colourful

We have a really fun challenge for you this fortnight at TIME OUT - we are challenging you to be colourful:

Our incredible sponsor for this challenge is Winnie & Walter - they are offering the winner a $25 gift voucher :) . Winnie & Walter also have a great WCD Challenge on at the moment so make sure to check that out as well.

To say that I love W&W dies would be a massive understatement - I pulled out two of my favourites for this card: Leaf Effect Cutaway and Thanks Cutaway. 

I went with both colour and sparkle for this card :) I used seven different colours of glitter in the leaf cutouts to create a rainbow. I kept the greeting simple with a stacked die cut sentiment.

TIME OUT #119 - Friendship & Breast Cancer Awareness

It is time for our annual Breast Cancer Awareness and friendship challenge at TIME OUT.

We have been running this challenge for a few years now with our wonderful sponsor- CAS-ual Fridays. They are offering a $25 gift voucher to the winner :)  CAS-ual Fridays have a fabulous line of breast cancer related stamps and dies that I highly recommend checking out here.

I used one of these wonderful stamp sets, called Be, for my one-layer card:

I masked off three stripes with some masking paper strips and ink blended with three different shades of pink Altenew inks. I then white heat-embossed the three greetings in white embossing powder. I accented the card with a few simple pink gems.

Our Guest Designer for this challenge is Marieke - you can check out her wonderful designs here.

I was lucky enough to pick a stamp set from Poppy Stamps - I chose Peony Stems and Blossoms and came up with this:

Who says peonies can't be an Autumn flower? Not me! I stamped them on Burnt Orange card stock and coloured the with Prismacolour coloured pencils. I kept the greeting simple with a stacked die cut (in glitter, of course!).

TIME OUT #117 - Inspired By Words

Our TIME OUT inspired by words challenge this week is a good one:

Lots of words to be inspired by :)  - I decided to focus on the "toes in the sand" part and this is what I created (excuse the bad photography - I was having lighting issues):

I really wanted to create sandy footprints with the special sand embossing powder from the Hero Arts My Monthly Hero kit. They are hard to see in the photo but I love how they look in real life :)  The rest of the scene was also created with stamps from the same set - I love the layered water stamps. A simple frame and sentiment to finish the card.

Our sponsor for this challenge is Uniko - they are offering the winner an in-stock stamp set of their choice :)

We can't wait to see how you will be inspired by these words - so make sure you take some TIME OUT to play along with us.

Thanks for stopping by!

TIME OUT #116 - Be Bright

We have a really fun TIME OUT challenge this fortnight - we are challenging you to be bright:

Here is my take on bright:

I really wanted to use this light bulb stamp from SSS Watts Up? stamp set - so I stamped it repeatedly across a panel of watercolour paper in Versafine ink. I then coloured them using a variety of shimery water colours  - I love the subtle shimmer whn they hit the light. I trimmed the panel and mounted it on a black card base heat embossed with a sentiment from SSS Seeing Stars. A little strip of Tim Holtz silver glitter tape to finish off the card.

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

Our guest designer for this challenge is Anila from Novel Ideas - she has some great designs so make sure to check out her blog.

So take some TIME OUT to be bright with us :)

Thanks so much for stopping by!

TIME OUT #115 - Food and Drink

We have a fun challenge at TIME OUT this week:

I always find one layer cards challenging (I love dimension) but I decided to give it a go this time - here is my card:

I kept it pretty simple - both the image and the greeting are from an older MFT stamp set. I coloured the image with Copics and then added lots of glitter with Stickles and Nuvo drops.

Our Guest Designer for this challenge is Susie from Created 4 Creativity - her cards are amazing so make to check out her blog. 

Our sponsor for this challenge is Birch Press Designs - they are offering a $20 gift voucher to a random entry that incorporates the optional twist.

We hope you can take some TIME OUT to join us for this challenge!

Thanks for stopping by!
