Time Out

Hello!

I hope you have had a lovely weekend.  We have just come back from my father in law's 70th birthday lunch - always good to see family! 

Before we set off I made a quick card to play along with the new Time Out Challenge.  It is a Home Sweet Home challenge using this home décor inspiration photo:


I loved the crisp white of the bedlinen and combination of blues/gold-browns of the butterflies.

 
I softly inked through the Memory Box Rhapsody stencil in teal and beige and added two Uniko Studio butterflies.  I used Wink of Stella on the butterflies.  The sentiment is gold embossed and from Mama Elephant. 
 
As I have used another stencil I can also play along with the second challenge at Virginia's View.  There are still 12 days to get your entries in!
 
Thanks for stopping by!  Sarah x

    This is so beautiful, Sarah! Love the partial stencil effect. By the way, I just recently learned you are English - always thought you lived in the USA. I come from Chelmsford originally.
