Time Out Guest Designer--Challenge Reminder





Hello--I'm back with a reminder post--phase II of my Guest Designer gig at Time Out Challenges. The challenge is open, and there is still time to play along.  Our inspiration this week is 'Home Sweet Home' and we have this bright and beautiful inspiration photo to work with.


My first card focused on the background wallpaper.  This time, I am using a more Clean and Simple style and am really emphasizing the stripes and colors from the bed.

I loved the retro/mod look of the inspiration room, and thought that my flower and the font of my sentiment really tie in with that look.  They say that lines like curves, so I paired an impression plate with lots of curves with my striped side panel.  I made that side panel by repeatedly stamping a lined stamp from PTI Ombre Builder, moving down the page, changing colors and slightly overlapping my stamping.


I hope you will play along with this challenge.  You have until May 13th 5:00PM BST--which is 9AM May 13th in California.  Plenty of time to get inky.


Thanks for Visiting

  17. I so wanted to do a stripe like that, Joyce, but couldn't figure out quite how to do it. Yours are perfect. I don't have that stamp but still have a few days to figure out something.
