Time Out DT #43, CAS-ual Fridays #144, Simply Create Too #97, SSS Monday 26/10, SSS Wednesday 28/10

Hello!  We have a lovely theme for you at Time Out this fortnight … it’s Christmas … with the optional twist of using pink or purple.  I went with the pink (a very vibrant one!) … and a little added gold …

I inked my craft mat with Picked Raspberry Distress Ink and a little Delicata Gold ink, spritzed it with water and started smooshing a white card panel, doing a little, drying it, doing some more, drying it … and so on till I was happy with the result.  The panel was trimmed to size, a snowflake from Uniko was cut from the middle of it and the sentiment was white embossed … it’s made up with stamps from Uniko and SSS.  I adhered the die cut smooshed panel to a white card base, cut another snowflake from a spare piece of white card, coated it with Wink of Stella and pieced it and the loose smooshed pieces back into the die cut space.  Voilà!  Here’s a look at all the shimmer and shine …

This is my first Christmas card of the year … how are you doing with yours?  How about making one including pink or purple (or any other colours if you don’t want to twist) and playing along with us at Time Out?    We have a sponsor for those who do use the twist … a random winner will be able to choose any stamp set from Uniko … and there are such yummy ones to choose from!  As usual, our overall winner, as chosen by the DT, will be invited to guest design with us in a future challenge … it could be you!  There’s lots of inspiration over at the Time Out blog, from our talented Guest Designer Suchi from Suchi’s Cardstock … from our own fabulous Design Team … and from some of the Design Team over at Uniko … what a treat!   If you comment on the Uniko blog here and on the blogs of the Uniko DT who have played along with us, you could win their stamp of the week … Label Love … oooh, yes please!  Hope to see you in the gallery!
