Time Out Challenge #312 - Photo Inspiration

Hello Everyone,

I'm stopping by to share  my DT post for Time Out current challenge #312. It's a photo inspiration challenge where we have to get inspired by the photo (which was clicked by me during our Albania trip🙂).

This is what I've created, inspired by beautiful sunset colors in the photo. Over to my card..

Our generous Sponsor is Doodle Bugs

Prize: Coupon code of $25 Store credit

To make this card, I took A2 size White water colored panel which I die cut out using Crazy Double Running Stitch Rectangle Nesting Dies - CUTplorations . I watercolor the background and leave it for air dry.

 

Once the panel was dried, I stenciled it with Black ink using Crafter's Companion - Decorative stencil designed by Sheena Douglass called Eiffel Tower. I bought it long back in a Craft fair when we were staying in UK, just after coming back from our Europe trip in 2016. Yes, finally after almost 10 years I opened the seal of this stencil. So proud of myself😝. I'm going strong with my new year resolution to use my "never before used craft stash" 😍.

Finally, I stamped the sentiment from one of the MFT stamp set, doodled some birds and adhered this panel to the Grey colored note card. I really love how this one layer stenciled card turned out.

I hope you get inspired and will join this challenge#312 at Time Out. This challenge is sponsored by Doodle Bugs and the Challenge winners will receive a $25.00 gift voucher to spend on their shop.

I can't wait to see how you get inspired.

Thank you so much for stopping by!!

To make this card, I took A2 size textured White card panel and created the background using Altenew 12 pan Watercolor set. I added some oil pastels too to add some interest. Once satisfied, I adhered this panel to the Cream colored card stock.

Time Out Challenge #286 - Pick 2

Hello Everyone,

I'm stopping by to share my DT post for Time Out current challenge #286 - Pick 2, where we have to pick two words from the challenge banner to make the card. And I chose Water (coloring) and Pastel colors.

Over to my card..

Our generous Sponsor is Gina k. designs

Prize: $25 Store Credit

To make this card, I took Watercolor Paper which I die cut out a bit smaller than standard A2 size card panel. Then, I stamped it using Maker Forte stamp set called "You're berry sweet".  I  also stamped the sentiment from the same set.

Then, I picked up my watercolors and did some loose water coloring. I just went with the flow, using plenty of water. I love how the colors spread across the image and blended into a beautiful background. Once the panel dried, I adhered it to the matching colored cardstock.

To add interest, I added glossy accent to the berries. Unfortunately, it is not visible in the image. I really like how this card turned out. 

I hope you get inspired and will join this challenge#286 at Time Out. This challenge is sponsored by  Gina k. designs and  the Challenge winner will receive a $25.00 gift voucher to spend on her shop.

I can't wait to see which words you choose for your card.
