Time Out #220 begins today. This time we are challenged to make our own background.
The challenge runs from Thursday, August 11th to Wednesday, August 24th. We are generously sponsored by STAMPlorations. The prize is a $25.00 gift vouchers for the STAMPlorations digital store (good for 6 months).
We are so pleased to have Desert Diva, Hannelie Bester with us as Guest Designer.
To create my background, I smooshed Distress Oxide inks onto my Glass Media Mat and spritzed it with water. I took a piece of Tim Holtz Watercolor paper and pressed it into the ink a few times, moving it into a different position as I went along. Once I liked it, I just let it dry, then die cut with a Lawn Fawn scalloped rectangle die. I hot foiled the sentiment using PinkFresh Studio Thank You So Much hot foil plate and Spellbinders Moondust Glimmer Foil. I adhered it to the background panel, popped that panel up with fun foam, and my card was complete. It was very hard to photograph this card and show the effect of the foiled sentiment. It looks much better IRL.
Please head on over to the Time Out Challenge Blog to see the wonderful creations that Hannelie and the Design Team came up with to inspire you. Come play with us!
