Time Out Reminder

Hello!

It is time to remind you that we are halfway through Time Out Challenge #28 already!  The challenge this time is to CASE this fabulous inspiration card by Kim Makartoff from Art Keeps Me Sane and add your own twist.  Even better, there is a £20 gift voucher from Clearly Besotted for the winner :)


 
I went all fresh and springy last week but this week I decided to go with the dramatic black base like Kim's:
 
 
 
 
My twist is that I flipped the design so that the flower was in the bottom corner.  The flower from Clearly Besotted's Sketch Blooms is gold embossed and combined with a sentiment from Brushed Poppies.  It is a very simple design but gold embossing always adds a touch of luxury!  The central panel is popped up over a base panel in black.  I wouldn't have thought of combining black and black until I saw Kim's design.
 
We are joined by a fab GD for this challenge - Claire from Life on the Scrap Heap - her blog is full of inspiration!  The rest of the DT have lots of great CASEs to share with you too over at Time Out.

I will also link up at this week's Less Is More Challenge which is predominantly black.  Hopefully my black card base qualifies :)
 
Thanks for stopping by :)
