Time Out #54...Reminder...Happy Birthday

There is still time to play along at our current challenge at Time Out.  Our challenge this time is a Home Sweet Home challenge, and we have this photo to inspire you.

I took my inspiration from the colors again, but this time kept my design more clean and simple with a lot of white space.

My stamps are PTI Brushed Off for the colored circles and Scribbled Sentiments for the sentiments.  I added a bit of texture to add interest.

Please head over to Time Out to see more inspiration from our Design Team and Guest Designer. Our Guest Designer this week is Elizabeth and our special Sponsor Designer is Kylie.  We are sponsored this week by Happy Little Stampers.

ColourQ #322...Cheers

Hello--happy Tuesday and time for the last ColourQ challenge of the year.  We have this pretty and elegant color scheme to work with.

I could not resist using as much gold as possible on this card.  I used PTI Brushed Off stamped in Delicata gold all along the side of my card front.  I die cut some leaves out of SU Baja Breeze, brushed the tips with a Versamark pen and embossed them with Ranger gold embossing powder.

Please head on over to the ColourQ challenge blog to see more inspiration from the design team. I hope you will join in the fun and play along this week.

ColourQ #313...Hope

Hello and welcome to a new challenge at ColourQ.   It is wonderfully fitting to have this pink color palette to work with, as October is breast cancer awareness month, and I have been seeing pink everywhere I go.

I used the smallest paint image in Brushed Off to create a backdrop for my die cut hope sentiment and ribbon.  To add interest to this card, I cut my front panel, and adhered my die cuts over the opening.  After adding a bit of texture and some sequins, my card was done.

Time Out #41 Reminder....Happy Thanksgiving

Hello.  Did you know that you still have time to play along with us at  Time Out.  This week, our challenge is Inspired by Words.  We have this quote by American poet William Cullen Bryant:

"Autumn...the year's last, lovliest smile."

I inked up PTI's Brushed Off in a variety of fall colors, then added a sentiment and die cut leaves. This quote inspired me to use fall colors and to make a card that should bring a smile to the recipient. 

Quick and easy (especially if you overlook the tiny smudge...)  This card will accompany one of the Thanksgiving baskets I usually make for the homebound elderly.  I am pretty sure they will forgive the smudge, because I do not have time for a redo this week.

I hope that you will take some Time Out to play along with us this week.  Please see the Time Out challenge blog to see more inspiration from the Design Team and our guest designer, Glenda of My Paper Cat.

I am also linking this up at Simon Says Monday challenge: Autumn is in the Air.
