We are joined by Jolanda Johnson of The Inquespot Studio, and winner of Time Out #255 as our Guest Designer. Jolanda is a regular player at Time Out. Her designs are fabulous. Do yourself a favor and treat yourself to a stroll through her blog for some wonderful inspiration.

For my card, I used Waffle Flower's Little Birdie dies and sentiments to create a birthday/support greeting  for a dear friend who is going through a very hard time. I decided to do an arch shaped card. I smooshed on a piece of cardstock picking up inks that I did not want to waste another project (channeling my inner Michele Ferguson), and added the die cuts from Little Birdie, placing birdie on a piece of vellum.

Please head on over to the Time Out Challenge Blog and see what Jolanda and the Design Team have come up with to inspire you. Hoping you will be inspired to join us in the gallery! Don't forget to check out the Just Us Girls Challenge to see their bird inspired projects and join the fun! Let them know that you arrived from Time Out!

This is beautiful, Stephanie. An arch shaped card looks wonderful, I'll maybe need to get these dies or figure out if there's a way to make it otherwise -I definitely want to try this now! Stunning background and I love the red wings on your bird. xx

OMG that Bird is so cute - layered dies? why have I never seen these before!! Stephanie.. I love your sweet design with this cute bird. The Arch shape and the vellum circle are such a great addition to the card. I must start thinking of using different shapes too, for my card.

I love your sweet bird bringing notes of love and thoughtfulness to your friend, Stephanie. The vellum worked beautifully to separate him from your wonderful mop up background.
