Time to Relax

It's a Photo Challenge at Time Out #316 and I took the photo for this challenge about a year ago. For my card I tried to recreate the scene in the photo, and the team has made a variety of fantastic cards inspired by the photo! Be sure to visit their blogs to read about their wonderful projects.

Lawn Fawn is generously sponsoring us with an offer of 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.

I used quite a few My Favorite Things Outdoor Decor dies and their pool water stencil, an Avery Elle Splash pool die and a Simon Says Stamp stamp set for the sentiment. There is stenciling on the outdoor rug, pillows and pool water. I ink blended the sunset sky on the card front. The die cut frame (MFT) is popped up on foam tape to make a diorama of sorts. When white string lights are on a patio I just smile, so I had to add them to my scene. (The Rabbit Hole Designs matte enamel dots) I added a pale gray pool deck for the outdoor rug and lounge chair to sit on next to the pool.

I can't wait to see how you are inspired by the photo and that you share your cards with us! Thanks for stopping by!

P.S. The screen in pool is a "thing" in Florida to keep mosquitos and "critters" out of the pool and patio area. It is not glass.
