TIME OUT Challenge #2

Hey!

It looks like a lot of you enjoyed the new TIME OUT Challenge, it was lovely to see so many entries for the first challenge. I'm still working my way through to comment but I'll be stopping by all the lovely entries :)

Anyway, it's time for a new challenge and this week it is 'Home Sweet Home' a picture inspiration challenge. 



Photo Source: House Decorating Ideas


You can probably guess which direction I went in for my card. Most of you know I'm a sucker for butterflies!




Such a fresh & clean inspiration photo I decided to interpret this onto my card. I went for a textured white card base and a smooth white panel adhered to the base using foam adhesive. I dug through my patterned paper stash and found some lovely Pink Paislee paper. I die cut three patterned paper butterflies using the Designer Dies BRIGHT Butterflies and also three matching vellum butterflies and layered them as seen below.




As much as I love pattern & patterned paper being a surface pattern designer by 'trade', sometimes they can be over powering, especially on CAS cards. Adding the vellum butterfly over the top of the patterned butterfly softens the pattern & also adds depth.

Ok, that's all from me today, but there is SO much more inspiration from the FABulous Design Team  HERE and also all the details on the challenge & entering. I can't wait to see what you create for this challenge :)


Supplies

Take Care

Happy Friday!

The weekend is nearly here and it's a holiday weekend here in the UK and dare I speak to soon, but it's set to be the hottest of the year so far which isn't hard to beat! I'm looking forward to an extra day with my hunny & hopefully some sunshine!

Anyway, I've a super CAS card to share today...




I noticed that the new CASology challenge code word HERE this week is care and so thought of the Take Care sentiment from Flower Power #1. I went on a bike ride yesterday evening to meet my guy after he finished work. The sun was out & still quite warm and I saw my first butterfly of the year which reminded me that I hadn't used my BRIGHT Butterflies dies for some time. 




The patterned paper is a left over piece from the Eclectic Mix Summer Digital Patterned Paper Collection. I've got plenty of paper scraps and this card layout is perfect for using such left overs. 

That's all from me today, thank you for stopping by.
