The current Time Out Challenge is "Inspired By Words". I really love this type of challenge as it leaves so much to the imagination. Here is the quote:
“Love the trees until their leaves fall off, then encourage them to try again next year.”
You can be inspired of the whole sentiment or just choose one or two words as a starting point for your project.
Here is my take:
I love Autumn. I love the change in weather. Where I live, there are four very distinct seasons. I love the change in foods, clothes, decor... When the leaves die off so much in nature goes to sleep, there is always the promise of spring and rebirth. So there's hope, and that was my thought process in pondering the quote and putting this card together.
Everything on this card is new except the Kraft card base. I used Brushos to make a water color background from which I cut the solid wreath. I sprayed it with Ranger Buttercup Mica Spray to give it a golden sheen. It's gorgeous IRL. All stamps, dies and the sentiment are from Winnie and Walter. The white panel is Tim Holtz Distress Woodgrain Cardstock. It is luscious.
I am also linking this CAS card up to the Stamp Ink Paper Challenge where the current challenge is Clean & Simple.
Thanks so much for stopping in for a visit! Have a wonderful day!!
So much to like about this! Adore the brusho leaves and the mix of this colour with the open red plus the gold, the whole card is like the changing Autumn. I also love how each season changes here. Thanks for joining TO
