I am so excited to be taking part in Time Out Challenges 3rd Birthday Celebration starting Thursday, March 2nd through Wednesday, March15th. I hope you will join in the fun and festivities! All of the wonderful companies in the graphic above are generously sponsoring the Time Out Birthday Bash!
Challenge #78 is a THEME challenge of Love and/or Friendship with the Optional Technique Twist of the "Spotlight Stamping" technique in which you add color only to one raised spot on your image. There are many tutorials available online like THIS one from Splitcoast Stampers and THIS one from MFT Challenge and Inspiration Blog.
The following sponsors are celebrating with us on their blogs-click on the links below to check out their parties:
Ardyth of MASKerade is our Guest Designer for both the challenge and reminder posts. Ardyth's work is amazing, and you are sure to be very inspired when you stroll through her blog.
Here is my take:
The main image is an Impression Obsession wood mounted stamp from deep within my stash - Flower Pitchers. I love this image, and it is wonderful for water coloring. I stamped it twice, colored the top section with Zigs, cut out a heart shape with Stampin' Up's Heart To Heart Punch and popped it up. I added a sentiment using Simon Says Stamp YOU, distressed the edges of the top panel, mounted it on purple card stock and adhered it to the card base.
Please head on over to the Time Out Challenge Blog and see what the Design Team has created for your inspiration. Take Time Out to create with us, celebrate with us, and link up for a chance to win some wonderful prizes.
This image is perfect for this challenge and your colouring really stands out in these deep colours you have used and what a great idea to use the heart-so perfect for our challenge (those sequins are perfect!!!) So pleased you are on our DT, you are an inspiration x
