Happy 2024!
Thank you for the continued support and friendship. Wishing everyone peace and joy in 2024. I'm honored and excited to let you know I've joined the Time Out Challenges Design Team!
Time Out Challenges opened in March 2014 and I began playing in August 2014. The challenge rotation is unique and fun: There are lots of ways to go with this one. I chose to try a new technique recently done by the Group of Seven Cardmakers: Smooshing with Cling Wrap. 
I sprinkled Lindy's Magicals in Prima Donna Purple and Tibetan Poppy Teal on a watercolor panel which I spritzed with water. While it was wet, I crumpled a piece of cling wrap, put a heavy book on top and left it to dry overnight. The close up photo shows the lines it created and the shimmer from the Magicals.
I silver embossed the beautiful image from Gina K Designs Holiday Tapestry. Just so happens that Gina K Designs is sponsoring this challenge! Be sure to enter for a chance to win a store credit and be a future guest designer. I used Memory Box black glossy cardstock for the PTI Pierced Feature Frame and Penny Black word diecuts. The silver dots are from Spellbinders. You can see inspiration from the DT and find all the details about how to enter on the Time Out Challenges Blog. Hope to see you in the gallery!
