You Are In My Thoughts

Time Out #212 begins today, It's a  photo theme challenge : Spring.  The challenge runs from Thursday, April 21st to Wednesday, May 4th. We are generously sponsored by Poppystamps. Once again, we welcome Åsa Johansson of Scrapat helt enkelt and winner of Time Out Challenge #208 as our Guest Designer for this challenge.

To create my card, I stamped SSS Gerbera Daisy Background cling stamp with VersaFine Clair Nocturne ink onto Bristol Paper, heat embossed it with WOW clear embossing powder and painted it with Zigs in purple hues as inspired by the photo on the challenge badge. I cut the panel down, backed it with fun foam and adhered it to a black card base. I stamped a sentiment from SSS Well Wishes onto a piece of white card stock, cut it out and adhered it to the floral panel.

Please hop on over to the Time Out Challenge Blog to see the wonderful creations that Asa and the Design Team came up with to inspire you. Come play with us!

Snowflake Thank You

Using more new "schtuff", I created this card using holographic card stock from SSS. At first glance, it looks like silver foil, but when you move it around n the light, it turns many different colors - so cool! I used this wonderful Penny Black snowflake tag with the holographic card stock for the base of the snowflake, and white glitter card stock for the detail. I used my new SSS Snowflake Visions Embossing Folder for my background, foiled a SSS Sentiment Strip for my sentiment, added a little twine, and my card was complete.

I am so excited to be here with my Guest Designer project for Two Old Bats Halloween Challenge, where it's always anything goes - Halloween.

 

Here is the November mood board for some inspiration.

To create my card, I blended Fossilized Amber, Spiced Marmalade, Seedless Preserves and Black Soot Distress Oxide inks on a piece of Neenah Solar White 80# card stock. After it dried, I spattered it with water, and after that dried, with Mr. Huey's Opaque White Color Mist. I used the Essentials By Ellen Birch Trees Cover Plate and Ebony Black Cardstock to die cut the trees and ground and affixed it to the blended panel. I stamped, Copic colored and die cut several images from Bear Ware 2 & 5 and arranged them in a Halloween scene. I added a sentiment from Simon Says Stamp Sentiment Strips Halloween die cut with Pink & Main Sentiment Strip Dies and my card was complete.

Beachy Thank You

 I needed a simple thank you card with a beach theme that I could easily duplicate.  After going through my beach stash, I broke out my NBUS Echo Park Starfish 6x6 stencil and inked it up with Abandoned Coral and Dried Marigold DO Inks. I stamped the Picket Fence Thank You sentiment, added a popped up Adirondack Chair stamp and die from the June 2018 MMH kit, and my card was complete.

It's time for a new challenge at Less Is More. Challenge #431 is to make a Clean & Simple creation with more than one type of foliage. 

Our wonderful sponsor and awesome supporter is Uniko.

For my card, I went into the deep, dark recesses of my wood mounted rubber stamp collection, and pulled out Hero Arts Woodland Leaves and Grasses. I used a variety of inks from SU and Papertrey Ink to stamp the images in autumnal colors across the bottom of the card.

The sentiment is from Simon Says Stamp Gratitude Sentiment Strips, die cut with Pink & Main Sentiment Strip Dies.
