It's time for a new challenge at Time Out. Challenge #289 opens today and runs through Wednesday, June 4th. This time it is an "Inspired By Challenge" with Your Favorite Winged Thing as our inspiration. Many living things and inanimate objects have wings. Some examples include birds, bats, insects and even some types of fish like flying fish. Additionally, airplanes and other aircraft also have wings. So use your imagination and come play with us!
We are joined by Kathy A as our wonderful Guest Designer. You can see her wonderful card on the Time Out Challenge Blog, and you can get all the details on Kathy's blog.
Our wonderful sponsor is Lawn Fawn, generously offering a $25.00 Store Credit as a prize for our Challenge Winner as chosen by our Design Team. In addition to the prize, our winner will also receive an invitation to join us as Guest Designer for a future challenge.
I used a butterfly from a stamp set by Pinkfresh Studio that was created by Lea Lawson to benefit Layton’s Legacy, a card drive and fundraiser for NICU parents. This is a cause that is so very close to my heart, so I chose this winged thing for my card. I used a smooshed panel from my snippet box, die cut it with a Deckled Rectangle and overlayed the vellum and white embossed butterfly on top of it. There are many great sentiments of sympathy in this set. It will be a perfect card for anyone who has experienced a loss of any kind or someone going through a difficult time.

That is one beautiful winged thing, my friend! I love that you've borrowed the colors from your 'logo' for your gorgeous background panel!

Your background is absolutely beautiful and shows off that lovely butterfly perfectly Stephanie! I love that you embossed the butterfly in vellum with the white so that it shows off all the detail but takes its color from the background. Lovely, lovely card my friend!! Hugs. :0)
Ooohhh, I like your vellum winged beauty! Fabulous card, Stephanie!
Embossing the butterfly onto vellum makes it all the more ethereal and so just right for your friend. The bright smooshed background is a like the hope of a better future. Thanks so much for sharing with us at The Paper Players.
Your card took my breath away when I saw the detail, Stephanie. The vellum butterfly against the beautiful colors of the ink smooshed panel looks stunning. Thank you so much for sharing over at the Paper Players!

What a beauty this card is with the deckled and watercolored background...and the stunning butterfly! SO eye-catching and majestic. You knocked it out of the park on this one!
Great way to color the butterfly without actually coloring it! Thanks for sharing at Atlantic Hearts.
