Time Out #131...Make + A + Wish

It is time for a new challenge at Time Out.  Our challenge this time is 'Inspired by Words' and since we are celebrating the 5th Birthday of Time Out, the words are all about birthdays.

Our sponsor this challenge is Stamplorations, and I used World Birthday Cakes  to make my card.  I pulled out some fun ink colors, created a mask for my cake, and then stamped it a bunch of different times.

Please head over to Time Out to see more inspiration from our Design Team and Guest Designer. Our Guest Designer this week is Kara, so please stop by her blog to see what she has created for this challenge.   Stamplorations is our sponsor for this challenge.  Details for the prize are on the Time Out Challenge Blog.


This challenge will run for 2 weeks.  I hope you will take some Time Out of your busy schedule to play along with us.

Thanks for Visiting

Time Out # 59...Reminder...Make + A + Wish

Hello.  There is still time to play along with our current challenge at Time Out.  Our challenge this time is:

Masculine with Optional Twist of Mixed Media

(For the purpose of this challenge, we are defining 'mixed media' as stamps and ink plus two other elements that add texture and/or dimension.)

Our sponsor this time is STAMPlorations, and I used a different image from World Birthday Cakes. There are several iconic images in this set, each converted into a birthday cake. 

I stamped the Sydney Opera House image onto Scarlet Jewel paper and fussy cut it.  I masked off an irregular shape around the top third of my card, and stamped the opera house in Versamark ink--it is difficult to see in the photo, but I created a background pattern of random bits of the same focal image.

I am also entering this card at Paper Players #300 where they are celebrating their 300th challenge with a CAS Celebration challenge, and at Addicted to Stamps and More #199 Clean and Simple.

Please head over to Time Out to see more inspiration from our Design Team and Guest Designer. Our Guest Designer this week is Patty and our sponsor is STAMPlorations.

Time Out #59...Happy + Cake + Day

Hello and welcome to a new challenge at Time Out.  Our challenge this time is:

Masculine with Optional Twist of Mixed Media

(For the purpose of this challenge, we are defining 'mixed media' as stamps and ink plus two other elements that add texture and/or dimension.)

Our sponsor this time is STAMPlorations, and I chose to use their really cute birthday set called World Birthday Cakes.  There are several iconic images in this set, each converted into a birthday cake.  Very fun.

I heat embossed the Leaning Tower of Pisa image in white, and then sponged distress inks over and around it.
