It's time for a new challenge at Time Out, and this time around, it is an Inspired By Words challenge. Our inspiration is a haiku poem by Matsuo Basho, one of the most famous Zen poets of Japan, who alerts us to the neglected beauty and interest of everyday life. The poem is entitled Winter Solitude.
Winter solitude -
In a world of one colour
the sound of the wind.
Matsuo Basho
We are generously sponsored by Stamp Simply.

Challenge winner as chosen by our Design Team will win a $25.00 store credit and an offer to Guest Design with us for a future challenge.
For my card, I used Stamp Simply Snowflake Blessings Border Strip clear stamp set. I embossed the border with silver embossing powder on navy cardstock. I popped the border strip on to White Lava Holographic Cardstock that had been dry embossed with Simon Says Stamp Snowflake Visions embossing folder. I die cut the smallest of Pinkfresh Folk Edge Circles from Soft Sky cardstock, stamped a sentiment from the same stamp set, popped it up on the card front, and my card was complete.
Please head on over to the Time Out Challenge Blog and see what Fran and the Design Team have come up with to inspire you. I am excited to see how the poem is interpreted. Please remember that in order to be considered for the win, linking to other challenges is limited to 5 including ours. Our challenge rules are listed on the sidebar of the challenge blog. I hope to see you in the gallery!
