This is a very special photo of a handmade bag made by our wonderful sponsor, Kim Heggins of Running Stitch Design. Kim is a friend, supporter and former DT Member of Time Out. She has a variety of handmade bags in different sizes, shapes and fabric in her ETSY Shop. This is one of her fabulous handmade bags as both the inspiration AND the prize for this challenge.

Looking through my dog images I fell in love with this new Newton’s Nook image from the “Sky High Celebrations” set. It was copic coloured and fussy cut. Wink of Stella added some shine to the balloons.

The background features Mama Elephant Tri Window Cover die.

I created the background with ink blending and some watercolouring for bushes along the horizon.

The sentiments are from Newton’s Nook sets: Cocktail Mixer and Birdhouse Greetings .

Time Out #260

Hello and welcome

It’s time for our new challenge over at Time Out!

Our wonderful sponsor is Lawn Fawn They’re generously offering a $25.00 store credit.

My card uses a stamp from our Sponsor – Lawn Fawn. It is Birthday Before and After – just perfect to match some pretty striped paper.

I used MFT – Stitch Triple Peek-a-boo die for the main panel and used a smaller circle die for the 3 circles so I could place them where I wanted.

The images were stamped, Distress watercoloured and added back into the panel, except for the present chick that was fussy cut! I added a little glitter to the images too.

To add to the fun, I made the middle circle into a shaker! I do love a shaker card and it works so well with a fun birthday card!

I’m entering in Lawn Fawn’s challenge as I always think “Happy Birthday” is one the happiest and most well known song ever!! Little ones learn it very early in some form! 🙂

Please head over to our blog to check out the wonderfully inspirational work by the rest of the Design Team! I hope you will find the time to join our challenge this month.

I look forward to seeing what you create using stripes. Good luck!
