Waffle Flower – Moments of Crafting

Hello and welcome

Time Out has a new challenge for you that opens today and runs through to December 17. This time it is a very special challenge in celebration of Time Out’s 12th birthday.

Time Out Challenges paper-crafting challenge was founded by Nonni Niskanen and Sandie Munro – two good friends who loved to take “time out” to craft and invite people in blogland with the same interest to join them.
They launched the first challenge on March 20, 2014.

Today, we will proudly celebrate our 12th birthday with Challenge #308. In recent years, we have chosen a muse to create a card for our participants to CASE. This year, we are please to welcome Stef Perry of Perry Papercrafts as our muse. Stef has created this gorgeous card for our celebration. The challenge is for our designers and participants to take inspiration from Stef’s card and make their project their own. We ask that our participants explain how their project is influenced by Stef’s card. Projects can be for any occasion.

Our wonderful sponsor, Waffle Flower Crafts, is generously offering a $25.00 store credit as a prize for our Challenge Winner, who will also get an invitation to join us as Guest Designer for a future challenge.

We are joined by Verena Shapiro of Simple Stamper on Instagram, and winner of Time Out #303 as Guest Designer.

My card feattures a stamp from our sponsor, Waffle Flower – Crocus Flowers.

After embossing in gold, I used Distress inks to watercolour the image before fussy cutting.

It was then added to the background that featured Embossing Folder with gold splatters.

The sentiment is from a very old Verve set – Birthday Surprise.

It was finished with the black strip top and bottom and the gold bow.

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! Good luck!

Thanks so much for taking the time to visit. I love to read your comments and will be sure to check out your blog.

I hope you all have a chance to enjoy some crafting time.

Cheers

Hello and welcome

A reminder for the October Challenge over at Penny Black Saturday Challenge! This month our theme is Cute or Spooky! But as always you can play along with Anything Goes!! I hope you will find time to join in!

As usual, we are sponsored by the awesome.

I decided to make another ‘cute’ card for this month’s challenge. It features these sweet little images and sentiments from PB – It’s Your Day and PB – Bubbly stamp sets.

They worked perfectly with the Waffle Flower -Postage Collage Die.

Both the postage die and images having been sitting waiting to make a debut and this week they are! I love both!!

The images were Distress watercoloured with some light innk blending around the ‘stamps’!
