Sew You

The latest Time Out Challenge #307 is a special photo challenge from our sponsor Kim Heggins, a former Time Out Design Team Member and owner of Running Stitch Designs. For the past several years, Kim has donated one of her marvelous handmade bags for this special challenge as both the inspiration AND the prize. My card was inspired by sewing and her striped and polka dot fabrics.

I used some of my favorite products from Concord & 9th to make a fabric store interactive card, complete with lots of bolts of fabric that match the awning on the store front, as well as a mannequin wearing a dress made from a fabric on the shelf in the store. This card is A2 size and folds flat to fit in an envelope.

What I used:

• Concord & 9th Pop Up Shopped stamp and die sets
• Pink and Main patterned paper pack, Banner dies
• Gold cardstock
• Acetate
• Altenew Obsidian black ink pad

We are challenged to create something inspired by this bag handmade by Kim Heggins. The enlarged  photo will help you to see some detail for your project. How does this photo inspire you? The colors, stripes, polka dots, the shape...? Please let us know in your post how your project was inspired. We can't wait to see what you come up with!

We are joined this challenge by Michele Ferguson of I Card Everyone, and winner of Time Out #302 as Guest Designer.  Be sure to check out her amazing blog and Instagram as she is such talented and creative cardmaker. As always, visit our team's blogs to read about our cards and how we were inspired.
