Guest Designer for Time Out

Thanks to the honor of winning one of the December challenges at Time Out, I’ve been invited to be a Guest Designer for the current challenge. It’s being sponsored by Gina K, and the challenge is to CASE the Designer. Here’s the card we’re to CASE.

I’ve seen a couple of definitions for CASE: 1) Copy And Share Everything or 2) Copy and Selectively Edit. I think for the majority of card makers, it’s the second definition that’s usually followed. I thought there were several elements that needed to be included: the rainbow ink blending, a floral on top, and a black border. I decided to change up the ink blending and used a circle stencil from Taylored Expressions to do my rainbow ink blending. I will say it took me three or four tries before I had one I liked. 

I also changed up the color of the floral, choosing a silhouette from Gina K’s Friendly Silhouette set—one that I had yet to use! I also used the Gina K Master Layout 1 to die cut the focal panel and the narrow black border. The sentiment is also from the same stamp set, die cut with a banner die from The Greetery.

I’m really anxious to see what the Design Team at Time Out has created, and I’ll be watching the gallery as well. I hope you’ll take a look, too, and join in the fun!

I’m also sending this to Darnell’s NBUS Challenge since the stamp is one that’s never been used, and also to Colorful Options where rainbow cards are always welcomed.
