The Season Of Color

 


It's time for a new challenge at Time Out. Challenge #297 opens today and runs through September 24th. We are looking for cards that reflect your favorite season.


We are joined by the wonderful, lovely, talented and witty Darnell Knauss of djkardkreations and of NBUS - never Before Used Schtuff fame. We are so excited to have her as our Guest Designer for this challenge.

We are sponsored by Waffle Flower Crafts. Challenge Winner as chosen byt the Design Team will receive a $25.00 Store Credit and an invitation to join the Time Out Design Team as Guest Designer for a future challenge.

I have been struggling with a creative slump lately and waited until the last minute to create my challenge card. Fall is by far my favorite season. I love the warm days and cool nights. I love the beach at this time of year - "local summer" as we call it here in NJ. I was looking through my autumn themed stamps for inspiration, and ran across these wonderful Penpattern Leaves. One thing led to another and I dug out my alcohol inks, created a panel using fall colors, and used Alcohol Lift Ink to create the pattern from the stamp on the leaf die cuts. In the end, I love the way the leaves came out. It was so much fun playing with the Alcohol Inks. I really should dust them off more often.

 Please head on over to the Time Out Challenge Blog where you can see what Darnell and the Design Team have created for your inspiration. What is your favorite season?? Come play with us and share your favorite season creation in the gallery!
