Time Out Challenge #264 Magical

 Hello Crafty Friends! It's time for another Time Out Challenge and this fortnight we challenge you to be... MAGICAL!

I made a smooshed background and then dry embossed with an Embossing Folder from Stampin Up. Then I added some die cut snowflakes, sentiment and bling.

To complete the card I stamped the rest of the sentiment and mounted everything on a white card base.

The gorgeous 'Believe' die is from Poppystamps.

The winner of our challenge will win a $25 credit from our generous sponsor - Picket Fence Studio and will also have the chance to be Guest Designer in a future challenge.

Time Out Challenge #250 Inspired by Words

 Welcome back Crafty Friends. It's time for a new Time Out Challenge and this week we want you to be inspired by a words. 

“When we focus on our gratitude, the tide of disappointment goes out and the tide of love rushes in.” ~ Kristin Armstrong

I focused on the word 'gratitude' and made a Thank You card.

I used a stunning die from Poppystamps (2519 Flower Field Frame craft die), our sponsor. To begin I made a watercolour background, which I die-cut when dry. I then randomly added a few rhinestones. To finish, I used another die-cut for the sentiment.

This winner of our challenge will win a $20 credit from our generous sponsor - Poppystamps and will also have the chance to be Guest Designer in a future challenge.

You can see more inspiration from our  fabulous DT at the TIME OUT CHALLENGES blog. 

I hope you have the opportunity to join in our challenge.

Tuesday Trio

Hi again. I'm sharing another collection of cards which will hopefully brighten your day. 

 

I had fun colouring these cute critters with Daniel Smith Watercolours on Arches 300gsm Cold Pressed Watercolour Paper. The background was dry embossed, but left white for a more CAS look. 

Stamps: Craft Consortium Forest Friends; Altenew Thinking of You

EF: Stampin Up

Thinking of You 

************************************

I found this gorgeous Sausage Dog wrapping paper and couldn't resist using it on a card. The background was made with an old wood-mount stamp. I then stamped the balloon and hat to make the dog more festive.

**********************************************

This was my first attempt at making a Gatefold card with a Poppystamps die set. I'm not sure whether I like the bold colours, but I was using old coloured cardstock from my stash. 

I coloured the butterfly and foliage to match.

Stamps: Penny Black Butterfly Garden

Dies: Poppystamp.
