Timeout Challenge 27

I've never played at Timeout before but have looked at it, since I follow my fellow New Zealander, the very talented Shona Chambers. I like the idea of taking timeout, especially on such a beautiful autumn morning as this one is.

The challenge is CAS with an optional twist of black, white and a splash of one colour. I like this idea, so have had a go at the twist. The trees are not yet turning, but I've taken Calypso Coral as my colour and, as you see, the splash is quite literal!

At Just Us Girls, the challenge is Black, White and another colour, so I will enter there too. This is another challenge I've never entered but have discovered through either following other people's blogs or through commenting on other people's lovely work. It's one of the great things about the blog world - there's always more to see and do.






The top layer of the dragonfly was clear embossed to give it some zing and it catches the light beautifully.

Ingredients
Card: Whisper White, Calypso Coral, Black.
Stamps: Clearly Besotted Say it in Style, SU French Foliage, SU Gorgeous Grunge.
Ink: Black, Calypso Coral
Other: Spellbinders Dragon Delight, Black rhinestones.

  1. Hi JAn, I am so pleased you found our blog. We are so lucky to have the talented Shona on our team! I absolutely love your card. The design is perfect, so very elegant but with a touch of funky! The script is elegant and the splatter so funky. Plus there is the drama of the red and black. A real stunner, I really hope you join us again x

    1. Thanks Shona. It's a great die - fiddly to get all the bits out but the old baking paper trick helps.

  4. Your card is lovely! The pop-of-red dragonfly, nestled atop the script and splatter combination has me swooning (usually reserved for butterfly cards, so this tells you how impressive your card is!). Gorgeous!
