TIME OUT #145 - Breast Cancer Awareness

We have a very special challenge this fortnight at TIME OUT - our breast cancer awareness challenge:

Our sponsor for this challenge is CAS-ual Fridays, who have a wonderful range of breast cancer awareness products. They have offered a $25 gift voucher to a randomly chosen entry that creates a one-layer card with pink :)

My card does not include the optional twist this time. I started out by water colouring a blue backdrop on a piece of Tim Holtz watercolour paper. I added a few splatters in blue and white and then die cut the panel using a stitched rectangle die. I cut the Big Hope Fri-die from white card four times and stacked them together in the centre of the blue background. I also used some scrap card stock to cut some flowers and leaves using the Garden Fri-dies and adhered them around the big hope. The whole panel was foam mounted onto a white card base.

Our Guest Designer is Sidan so please stop by her blog and say hello.

I will link up at Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge where Anything Goes this week

and at Freshly Made Sketches

TIME OUT #144 - Photo Inspiration

Our challenge this week at TIME OUT is one of my favourite kinds of challenges - a photo inspiration challenge - and this week is so much fun with the graphic black and white decor.

Our sponsor for the challenge is Poppystamps - they are generously offering the winner of the challenge a $20 gift voucher to their store.

For my card, I was inspired by the bold black and white and I created a layered die cut background using the Birch Press Design Prismatic Triangle layering set in alternating black and white. I love all the dimension this technique creates in real life. I also saw the pop of green in the picture so I decided to add my sentiment strip white embossed on a piece of green cardstock and add a few green Nuvo Drops. I also created a green envelope with a tone-on-tone die cut to jazz it up a bit.

Our guest designer for this challenge is the incredible Hannelie of Desert Diva - her designs are so amazing and a constant source of inspiration :)

Thanks so much for stopping by!
