Time Out #54...Happy Birthday




It's time for a new challenge at Time Out.  Our challenge this time is a Home Sweet Home challenge, and we have this photo to inspire you.



When I looked at this photo, I saw a bright and bold design and a riot of color.  I did some background stamping with a new Verve set (Simply Amazing) and matched the colors of the inspiration piece.




I used an inlaid die cut (built up with several red layers) for the 'happy' in my sentiment and a fussy cut white embossed on red for the 'birthday' part.



I am also linking up to Addicted to CAS #85: Inlaid Dies and Simon Says Wednesday: Birthday.




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.


Thanks for Visiting

  4. What a fabulous card Joyce - reminds me of flower power in the 60's! But you won't remember that lol. Great idea to stack the sentiment on the red card - I'll be squirreling away that idea to CASE.
