Time Out Reminder

Happy Friday Eve,

It's reminder time at Time Out Challenges.

It is our photo challenge and here is the photo that we hope will inspire you to play:



Last week I went with the chevrons only but this week I decided to go with stripes, the colours and the Halloween theme.

The pumpkin and sentiment are very old stamps from STAMPlorations. I am not the best at colouring but had fun giving it a go! The striped stamp is from Winnie and Walter. I just coloured the image, fussy cut it out and then popped it up on some foam pads.

This card is flying over the pond to a blogging friend who loves Halloween.

Our Guest Designer for this challenge is the inspiring and talented TaeEun. She has made some fabulous cards for this challenge. Take a look at TaeEun's and out DT cards here

I will enter this into the following chalenges:
- 'clean and simple Halloween' challenge at AAA cards
-the photo inspired challenge at The Challenge
-pretty pumpkins at Curtain Call
Time to get inky my friends x

     

The Card Concept #42

Time for a new challenge at The Card Concept.

For this challenge you can use any card style you want-the styles are explained here. Or why not combine a few of the styles?

Here is my 'Clean and Simple' one layer card for our colour challenge:

And here are the colours and our photo to inspire you:

We would like to see all these colours-Cream, Burgundy, Pink & Espresso-on your card.

I found this a tough one. I wanted to make a one layer card but it was quite hard for me to think of an idea to get all these colours in. However I got there in the end!

Our Guest Designer this month is the very talented Diane. Her style is Free style collage. Check out her blog here

Our DT have all made some fabulous cards in a variety of styles. Check them out here and then get inky.

Enjoy!

Fusion-All Hallows Eve

I am back again today but this time with our new challenge at Fusion.

We have both a photo and sketch for you. Choose either one or fuse the 2!

Here they are:

Here is my take:

I found this a tough one. The sketch seemed too layered for me and the photo I love but I didn't want to make a Halloween card. I zoomed in on the photo quite a few times and decided to go with the framed photo on the mantle piece-the one with the tree in the centre. I even zoomed close enough in so I could see the colours on the tree and used the exact ones on my version. I finished off my sponging some sky. I did keep to the classic orange and black of Halloween.

Our DT have come up with some fabulous designs. Take a look here. Then time to get inky and join in. You have until 27th Oct Noon (PST) to join in.

Enjoy!

Time Out #42

A very Happy Friday Eve,

Time for our new challenge at Time Out Challenges. It is our photo challenge and here is the photo:

So what is it here that inspires you to get crafty.

Here is what I created. Shock, horror....no stamping but patterned paper and die cuts...goodness, did I really make this!! (yes, yes, honestly I did)

I thought about this for a while and was going to go with the colours and chevrons plus I did want to use patterned paper. I had a look through my stash and found this paper that was given to me by Virginia when we met up in London. I found this die cut in my stash also. I decided on this CAS layout when I saw the sketch at Sovushka Slavia.

Our Guest Designer this week is TaeEun. Check out her blog Rainbow in November, it is fabulous.

TaeEun and our DT have created some stunning cards-check them out here.

Time to take TIME OUT to create.

Have fun x

Muse #137

A very Happy Monday,

I seem to be a bit hooked on the challenges at Muse Card Club at the moment. I think what I like is that each week the cards are so different that I find it quite inspiring to try something new.

This week the very talented Michele challenged us to use patterned paper. Like Michele I am a CAS designer and using DSP is, well, a real challenge for me! However encouraged by her use of adding her own little touch of stamping to a card covered in DSP, I gave it go.

Here is what I came up with:

I got this paper from Virginia when I met up with her this year and I have been wanting to use it for ages. I knew I wanted to add something to the centre but just wasn't sure what. A hunt through my stash and I came across this fun Uniko explosion stamp. I stamped this and fussy cut it out, coloured it and stamped the 'wow' in the centre. I used the closet colours I had to match the paper. I added the explosion stamp onto the card using foam pads and curled the edges to give more dimension. This was really fun to make.

I know this is really different for me but I like it and think it will be good for a congratulations card.

Here is Michele's card:

Inkspirational #93

Time for our 'Word Prompt' challenge at Inkspirational. Here is our word:

Here is my card inspired by the word 'glow'

I went with the glow of lights from windows at night.

I haven't used this cityscape stamp for ages but thought it would be good as it has lots of little windows that I could randomly colour in some glowing lights.

I added in some fireworks which also glow!

Our Guest Designer is the very talented Hannelie. I have been a long time admirer of Hannelie, her creativity is so inspiring. Check out her blog Desert Diva-you will come away full of ideas.

Our DT have all made fabulous cards inspired by 'Glow'. Take a look here and then get inky!
