We're back with a fun photo inspiration for
Time Out Challenge #256. Sarah Gray is a former DT member and the owner of our sponsor, Funky Fossil Design. All you have to do is make a card inspired by the one Sarah made in the photo below. In addition to the 25 pound gift certificate to Funky Fossil, the winner gets an invitation to guest design for a future challenge.
I used a splatters stencil in the background, but mine is coffee splatters instead of paint. My card is a rectangle, but I basically followed Sarah's layout. There are lots of ways you can be inspired and I'm looking forward to seeing what you come up with in the gallery. Remember, we only allow cards entered in a total of no more than 5 challenges including ours.
I used Lawn Fawn Manatee ink with Tim Holtz Splatters stencil. The Stampendous sentiment was stamped in Versafine Clair Nocturne.The stitched rectangle is MFT, the cups are Trinity Stamps (freebie), the snowflake embossing folder is Darice and the little hearts are AJVD.
I used a detail brush to add white pigment ink to the snowflakes before covering them and the word Friend with Shimmer Pico Embellisher. Black enamel dots were just the right finishing touch. I'm sending this card as a Valentine to a blogging friend, wishing we could meet for coffee.
Thanks so much for taking time to stop by. If your blog address is in your profile or comment, I will visit you.

ReplyDeleteHi Greta: I enjoy looking closely at all the details on your cards that often get overlooked. My eyes aren't great so I had to put on my glasses and zoom in (lol). Your cards are always so pretty and so interesting. Thank you for stopping by my blog this morning. It's always so nice to have you visit. I miss chatting. Hope our paths cross again soon.
