Let The Magic Happen

 



It's time for a new challenge at Time Out. It's a very special Photo Inspiration in which Sarah Gray, owner of Funky Fossil Designs, is both our sponsor and our muse for this "CASE The Designer" challenge. Sarah is a former Design Team Member of Time Out, and we are thrilled that she agreed to create an inspiration piece for our players to CASE.

If the word "CASE" is nor familiar to you, it means "copy and share everything". When you CASE someone's card, you have the designer's permission to be heavily inspired and influenced by their card... However the idea is not to completely recreate the card but to be inspired by it. 

Here's a closer look of the card Sarah has made for us to CASE. You could for example CASE the layout of the card, be inspired by of the theme of Sarah's card, use her colors or similar style or images... Many possibilities! 


Our wonderful sponsor is Sarah's own company,  Funky Fossil Designs.   They're generously offering a £25.00 store credit.


We are joined by Carol McFarland of Saw it. Had to Make It., and winner of Time Out #253 as Guest Designer. Please do yourself a favor and visit Carol's blog. She is a fabulous designer and you are sure to be inspired!

I used Funky Fossil image and sentiments for me card. I swiped a few distress ink pads in the colors from Sarah's card, onto the large splatter circle from Inkylicious and sprayed water on it. I stamped the amber color around the edges, then pressed it to the white cardstock. I then stamped the image of the woman and the sentiments and heat embossed them with clear EP. I mounted the white panel on black cardstock and my card was complete.

Please hop on over to the Time Out Challenge Blog to see the wonderful creations that Carol and the Design Team came up with to inspire you. Come play with us!

The looseness of the color swipes and the way they blend gives a very artsy look to your card, Stephanie.
