Hello and welcome
I’m thrilled to be back today with my second card as a Guest Designer for Time Out Challenges finishing on 1st of January, 2020! Stamplorations is kindly sponsoring this challenge.
It was such a wonderful honour to be invited to join the awesome Design Team for this special Inspired by Words Challenge. These words are perfect for the start of the New Year!
My card today features a stamp by our sponsor STAMPlorations – the beautiful Blossom Sprays.
After heat embossing in gold, I did some very soft, loose Distress Ink watercolouring. Then a little clear Wink of Stella was added to the flowers.
To enable the circle die cut, the bottom section of the bouquet was fussy cut.
Darkroom Door – Criss Cross Background Stamp was white heat embossed on the background, before being adhered to the card front.
The floral piece was then added with raised tape.
The sentiment from Altnew – Sophisticated Wreath was gold heat embossed and added to the bottom.
Please head over to the Time Out Blog to check out the wonderfully inspirational work by the Design Team!
I look forward to seeing what you create! Good luck!
Thanks so much for taking the time to visit. I love to read your comments.
Have a great day
Cheers
Helen
