It's time for a new challenge at
Time Out. This one is extra special as it celebration of our 11th birthday. It opens today and runs through March 12. Time Out Challenges was started 11 years ago by the Dynamic Duo of Sandie Munro and Nonni Niskanen. There has been so much amazing art here over the years. We have had many different and fabulous designers, guests, sponsors and countless, wonderful participants from all around the world. We are still going strong. Thanks to all through these 11 years, and happy birthday to us!
To celebrate, we have stepped out of our "regular" rotation schedule with a "CASE the Designer Challenge" which we do once a year. This year our muse is the incredibly talented Donna Mikasa of
3 umbrellas which is filled with the magic of her wonderful artistry. Do treat yourself to a stroll through Donna's blog. You can't help but be inspired!
We are generously sponsored by Gina K Designs, and our Guest Designer is Jacinda of LazzieJ's Crafting Corner and winner of Time Out Challenge #278. Check out all of the details on the Time Out Challenge Blog HERE.
I attended a fabulous class with Cheiron Brandon on Saturday that was all about gelli printing. It was 5 hours filled with wonderful people, wonderfully messy art and lots of lifting each other up, all in a yurt! Oh how wonderful it was! My card is composed of a piece of one of my gelli makes of the day, a piece of Washi tape, a die cut from the class supplies and a Reverse Confetti Cover Plate. I love the way my CASE card turned out. I had the joyful experience of working with Donna Mikasa in the process of presenting this challenge, and I am immensely grateful that she joined us as our muse for this challenge.
Please head on over to the Time Out Challenge Blog where you can see what Jacinda and the rest of the Design Team has created for your inspiration. Come play with us!
I'm also playing at:
Favorite: Feminine or Masculine Theme (and why)?
I prefer making feminine cards because most of the cards I make are for women/girls so it is my comfort zone. I like to push myself out of those bounds, but given the choice, I pick feminine.

Love the deep, rich tones on your card--the gelli print is just gorgeous! I'll have to give a closer look at gelli printing. Thanks so much for the invitation to join you all as your muse, and for your kind words, too!
What an awesome background Stephanie and great idea to break up the two sides with that strip of wash tape! Love this big bold sentiment too! Hugs, Kate!
I don't know anything about the gelli print process but you made a beautiful design for our birthday celebration. I love that cover plate too...too bad RC is not around anymore. What a great card!!
In a YURT?? OH, my goodness I'll be that 5 hours flew by! I love how this pattern repeats itself from gel-print to debossed though I could not figure out how for the life of me - A++ for use of your homework, Stephanie!
I adore Donna - and every card she makes! Look at that - she repeated the embossing on both sides! I must go reacquaint myself to her card!

Love the contrast between your white debossed section on the regal red! Fabulous card, Stehanie!
Stephanie... OY!
WOW!! This is one gorgeous and artsy card Stephanie!! I love the contrast between the deep red and the white debossed area and how perfect the washi tape fits in too! FABULOUS card my friend!! Hugs. :0)
A wonderful take on Donna's card. Thank you for sharing at AYLI.
A very pretty feminine card. Thank you for sharing at AYLI. Sarah
Loved your card on IG and came for more details. Wow--what a beautiful geli print! I still haven't ever used my geli plate, but maybe this year it will happen. Beautiful use of Donna's inspiration, Stephanie!
So glad you could use what you learned in class to make your card, Stephanie. It sounds like it was both fun and educational. I love how the stencil matches the embossed design.
Your class sounds amazing Stephanie! So lucky!! I love the piece of printed papers you used to give your card rich interest! Love it! I hope you have a good day! :)
