It is time for our 3rd challenge at TIME OUT. We had so many wonderful entries for our 'Home Sweet Home' challenge last week that it is going to be hard to choose the winners. But if you check back next Thursday we will announce them!
Now we move onto our Theme with an Optional twist Challenge and this week we have this for you:
HAPPY BIRTHDAY
with the optional twist of a Masculine Birthday.
That means you can make any kind of Birthday card you want or you can twist along with us and make a Masculine card. If you do twist then you will be in for the chance of winning a £15 gift voucher from Uniko Studios. This winner will be randomly selected.We have more prizes from Uniko Studios-check the stamp set and dies at the end of my post!
I decided to go with the twist and make this card for my husband's Birthday next week.
I have used the 'explosion' stamp set from Uniko Studio who we are very lucky to have sponsoring us this week. I made the background by repeatedly stamping the explosion stamp and then heat embossing it with clear powder.
This week we are very happy that Beverley is joining us as our Guest Designer. Beverley won our very first challenge and she has made a fabulous card for us. Check it out here where you will also see all the cards from our wonderful Design Team.
And back to the prizes!!
If you are the overall winner you will have the chance to join us as Guest Designer for our next challenge and you will also win these from Uniko Studios
Tempted??? You have until Wed 23rd 5pm GMT to take TIME OUT and join in the inky fun!
