Time Out #106

Hello!

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,

Sarah x
