Love You,Thank you

For our second challenge of the year at Time Out #305, we have an Inspired By challenge asking for a Favorite Technique. This is a great challenge topic for learning how others make their cards. My current favorite "technique" is using bundles that include coordinating stamps, dies and stencils to create cards. It is so much fun to stencil or stamp first, then die cut from the same coordinating products. The best part for me is that I can stencil instead of using markers to color in the images. Sometimes my coloring needs practice, so that's the "technique" part I like best!

My card uses all three products from this bundle by Concord & 9th. These City Block stencils are easy to use and by just changing the colors, you get a totally different feeling from them each time. Using these stencils I always get the feeling of vacation or downtown somewhere, or even a brand new shopping/living development.

Our wonderful sponsor, Top Flight Stamps, is generously offering a $25.00 store credit as a prize for our Challenge Winner, who will also get an invitation to join us as Guest Designer for a future challenge.

We are joined by Gundi of Papierelle, and winner of Time Out #300 as Guest Designer. Visit her blog to see her work. Don't forget to check out our design team blogs for the techniques and products they share for each challenge.

I think this will be a fun challenge with everyone sharing their favorite techniques. We can't wait for you to play along with us!

Thanks for visitng!
