Time Out #51...hello



Hello and welcome to another challenge at Time Out.  This week our challenge is a theme with an optional twist.

Easter or Spring with an optional twist of masking.


I opted to make a spring card--and when I think of spring flowers, I always think of tulips.  I die cut and stamped some tulips from PTI Bitty Bouquets and then placed them in a vase I die cut from a very thin piece of wood.  I added some texture to my card front, and chose to keep this card very CAS.

Our guest designer this time is TaeEun so please make sure to stop by and see what she has made for this challenge.

Stamplorations is our sponsor this week.

Edited to add:  I am linking up at AAA Cards #59 Embossing.  (Thanks Stephanie)



I hope that you will take some Time Out to play along with us over the next two weeks.  Please see the Time Out challenge blog to see more inspiration from the Design Team.


Thanks for Visiting
