It's time for challenge #37 over at TIME OUT Challenges and we are back to being inspired by words, the phrase for this fortnights challenge is...
Friendship is Golden
What do these words inspire you to create? I was inspired by the whole phrase, which resulted in this card...
I've been wanting to try THIS 'Fussy Cutting' technique, I saw over on the Papertrey Ink Make it Monday challenge for some time now and the 'Fabulous' sentiment from All Occasion Sentiments #3 is kinda perfect for the technique.
The layout of my card & paring stamps instantly jumped into my creative mind and I am fairly pleased with how it translated on to the card itself. Believe me it doesn't always happen that way!
As you can see from this close up both the sentiment and the star banners from Garlands Galore are heat embossed gold.
This fortnight we have a lovely guest designer joining us, Cornelia, be sure to stop by Cornelia's blog HERE to see how she was inspired by the photo and of course the FABulous TIME OUT Challenges Design Team...
For all the info and to link up your challenge be sure to stop by the TIME OUT Challenges blog. I look forward to seeing your creations :)
