Today I have a special card made with a beautiful Faded Botanicals paper gifted by the generous Stamplorations company, our Time Out Challenge sponsor for Challenge #311. I did not want to cut into this amazing paper, so I matted it with a dark grey cardstock to give it a frame.
Our challenge is a Pick Two theme (use at least two of our words in your design) using the following words:
Earth, Rain, Pastel, Hope, Tree, Bloom
I chose the words Earth, Hope, Bloom.
I also used a Spellbinders stamp set called Birthday Unboxing Sentiments and their Many Blooms and Sprigs die set. I added the little white die cut flowers with black centers for some dimension on the card and to go with the big bloom in the paper. My card is 5"x7" size.
Stamplorations is offering a $25.00 gift card to their store for our challenge winner and that person will also be invited to be our guest designer in a future challenge.
Karen Walker is our guest designer for this challenge. Click on her name to go to her blog for all the details on her beautiful card. Her work is always perfectly executed.
We hope you will take some "time out" and play along with us! Thanks for visiting!
