Time Out #28

Hello!

Here we are again at the beginning of another Time Out challenge!  This time it is the CASE with a twist challenge and we have an amazing inspiration card from the lovely Kim Markatoff from Art Keeps Me Sane for you to work with:




I have to admit that I love these CASE challenges - it is great to use other peoples' fab designs as a jumping off point for a card.  I am sure that I am not the only one who wanders around blogland and Pinterest looking for inspiration.....

I love the drama of Kim's card - the black base and masked flowers look so elegant with those jewel like colours.  My CASE looks like this:


 

I went with a very similar layout - a panel popped up with masked flowers round the edge but my twist is that I used a white background to create a more springlike look.  The flower stamps are by Clearly Besotted and the sentiment is by Hero Arts.  I coloured the flowers in with my Spectrum Noir pencils.

This is an extra special challenge as it is sponsored by the fabulous Clearly Besotted with a £20 gift voucher for the challenge winner!  That's got to be better than easter eggs :)

We are joined by the super talented Claire from Life on the Scrap Heap as our GD this week - her cards are stunning and her blog is so worth a visit.  The rest of the fabulous DT have lots more inspiration for you over at Time Out.

I hope you take some Time Out this Easter to play along with us.

I meant to link up at CASology where the cue card is Spring but forgot to do it....as there is still time I am putting a cheeky link in :)

Thanks for stopping by :)

  12. What a beautiful card, I just love those flower stamps (I think they are fuschia flowers??). Your colouring of them is gorgeous and looks even better with all that white. Hope everyone enjoys themselves for Easter and that the bunny leaves you a few eggs too!
