Time Out Challenge


I found a brand new *to me* challenge tonight on Lynn Mangan's blog. It is called the "Time Out" Challenge and it is all about taking time to craft for fun! I was intrigued by the inspiration and played along! This card is A LOT busier than my normal style but it was fun playing with my inks and a couple of images to create my own background. I really did take some time for me to play along!

This is the inspiration card by Heather.

The card we had to CASE is HERE...have a look at how pretty it is! My "twist" is I made my card a basic one layer card and added a small strip of paper with twine on top...to break it up! I didn't sponge the background either, I used the same tones but used a script stamps to create the background of this card.

  1. I am so pleased you found our Challenge Lesley and liked our inspiration. And wow to your take on this. The added script makes all the difference here and is the perfect background for the wonderfully stamped leaves. We sure hope you take some more TIME OUT and craft with us again at TIME OUT Challenges x
