With Gratitude




Time Out Challenge #133 is up and running. This time it's a Theme challenge with a twist: use at least 2  EMBELLISHMENTS, with a twist of one layer. Our challenge is sponsored by Birch PressDesign. A winner will be selected from those entries that include the one layer twist. The prize is a $20.00 gift voucher to the Birch Press Design store. Awesome!

Jeanne Jachna, one of the amazing designers for the Birch Press Design blog, is joining us for this challenge. Check out her stunning cards on her personal blog:  A Kept Life

Our Guest Designer for this challenge is Andrea. Andrea plays with us often at Time Out,  and we are thrilled to have her as Guest Designer for this challenge.

For my card, I started with a Kraft card base. I used Sponsor Die Stitched Maple Circle Frame to cut the circle/leaf from a panel water colored with Distress Oxide Inks. I cut the leaf from Old Olive cardstock and inlaid it in the negative cut of the circle. I found this gorgeous piece of lace in my ribbon stash, and wrapped it around another piece of Kraft. I popped up the leaf/circle with foam tape on top of the lace, added some sequins and pearls, and heat embossed the sentiment in gold.

Please head over to the Time Out Challenges Blog to see what Jeanne, Andrea and the Design Team have created for your inspiration. Play with us to share your creation, and to have a chance to win a prize from Birch Press Design. I can't wait to see what you come up with!

What a creative way to use this die-must remember this. Adore how you kept the one leaf green on that lovely background. And wow to the lace-how pretty and it still looks so very CAS-shows what a great designer you are x
