A Street Fair

At Time Out Challenges #287 we have a photo inspiration of a street fair in Luxembourg. Our teammate Kate had this booth there and was selling her beautiful cards! From the photo I used flowers and some of the colors to make my card. 

Uniko is our generous sponsor this month of £25.00 Store credit and our challenge winner will be invited to be a guest designer of a future Time Out challenge. Also, Heather Heroldt of Handmade By Heather is our guest for this challenge!














One of my favorite kinds of die cutting is inlaid pieces, so I have eyed this die for a while. I used a leftover stenciled frame from die cutting a recent card and put it over my die cut piece, even though it looks like the reverse. Using this die is like putting a puzzle together. The background can be many different colors but I chose the white one with shiny hearts for something different. (That's why you see a cut piece on the top left of the background. It is meant to be one of the places where you can make a color change.) Looking forward to so many seasons and colorways for different versions using this die!

What I used to make my card:

Concord and 9th - Spring Print die 
JoAnn Fabrics - Embossed white heart cardstock

What do you see that you could take for your own card? The photo board? The costumes? The festival booth? The masks? Definitely the colors...so may good ones. Please explain what you took from the photo to make your card.

We hope you will come along to our festival challenge! Hope to see your card in the gallery!

-Carol
