I am delighted to be the GD at the latest Time Out Challenge :) There is a stunning photo inspiration for this challenge which has lots of lovely details and elements:
I love the soft blues and yellows and my eye was drawn to the lemons so I made this:
I stamped and masked the lemons (by Sheena Douglass) and softly inked through a new stencil (Moroccan Star) which mirrors the beautiful vase in the photo. The stamped image was watercoloured with sparkle pens.
I shall also link up at Simon's Wednesday Challenge where Anything Goes and for a final time at the current one layer card challenge, Less is More, where we are creating with stencils.
As always the fab DT have lots of inspiration for you. I look forward to seeing which aspects of the image inspire you....the colours, the stripes, the blossoms etc. Have fun!
The stencil is available, along with lots of other designs, in my Folksy shop.
Thanks for stopping by,

Great to have you as GD and love you picked out the lemons-no one else had, oh how I love photo inspiration challenges. And also love you used the stencil in blue-I also missed this in the photo! Super card Sarah x

ReplyDeleteYour card is so very pretty. I cannot believe I did not notice the lemons until I saw your card! I just saw flowers. Fun when a photo has so many different elements to inspire. Thanks so much for being our Guest Designer at Time Out.

This is absolutely fabulous, Sarah. I went with the design in the vase in blue too... great minds think alike. I love those lemons, and the sentiment is fantastic. Thanks so much for joining us as Guest Designer for this challenge.

Those delicious lemons look so mouthwatering, Sarah ... they're gorgeous against the soft stencilling! What a brilliant sentiment ... so hopeful! Delighted to have you back, Guest Designing with us at Time Out! Hugs, Anita :)
ReplyDeleteFab-U-lous! Mmmmm, I love seeing lemons on trees (lucky really as I have 2 of them in my garden!) and you've really caught their texture with your pretty inking. Beautiful stencilling too. A very elegant and classy card. thanks for sharing it with us at Less is More xx
ReplyDeleteYour coloring of the lemons is wonderful, Sarah, and they look good with your stencil standing in for the vase.
