Hello … bonjour … and welcome to our last Time Out challenge of 2019. This fortnight, we’re being Inspired By Words … with this quote from the wonderful CS Lewis … you are never too old to set another goal or dream a new dream. Here’s where I went with it …
That amazing, dreamy medallion came about as a result of a play session led by Darnell at the Lake House. I saved it for just the right moment (the birthday of a sweet, non blogging friend) … and still have the other half waiting for it’s share of the limelight. The panel was made using a stencil (sorry, don’t know the maker or name – ETA: thanks, Stephanie … it’s from Simon, here) and texture paste mixed with shimmery Lindy’s Magicals (my first time using both). I trimmed round the curvy edges of the panel and popped it up on craft foam onto a pearlescent blue card base. The sentiment (Clearly Besotted) was white heat embossed and I added a scattering of tiny pearls to finish. Here’s a better picture of the variegated colour and all that pearly shine …
Where will CS Lewis’s inspiring words take your creativity? You can use any or all of them to inspire your card … we’d love it if you played along with us. We’re sponsored this time around by STAMPlorations (thanks, Shery!) who are offering our winner, as voted for by the DT, a $20 GC. As usual, our winner will also be invited to Guest Design with us in a future challenge. The details are over at Time Out, along with heaps of lovely inspiration from our fabulous DT, which I know you won’t want to miss! In addition, we’re delighted to be joined by our talented Guest Designer … Helen, from Moments of Crafting. There’s so much to enjoy over at Helen’s blog … do go over for a meander through all the loveliness … and you can always say hello!
My card will be going into the galleries at …
