Hello … bonjour! Our new challenge at Time Out has just started … and we have an ‘Inspired By Words’ theme for you to join in with for the next two weeks .. it takes both rain and sunshine to make a rainbow. Here’s where I went with it …
As you can see, my focus was on the ‘rainbow‘ element of our words. I took a white card panel and sponged it in a bevy of scrumptious rainbow colours, making sure to keep any muddy-able colours away from one another. The panel was cut with Cover Model: Multifaceted Cutaway (from Winnie & Walter) … and I adhered a frame around it, that had been cut with two Hero Arts Infinity Dies. The little ‘happy’ sentiment (from Simon Says Stamp) was stamped onto the frame, then I adhered the panel onto the card base using tiny slivers of foam tape. The main sentiment is from Winnie & Walter, cut out of black cardstock, embossed in clear, dotted with silver pen (to mimic either rivets or jewels, depending on the recipient) and adhered/popped up over the rainbow.
Where will our words take your creativity? You can use any or all of them to inspire your card … we’d love it if you played along with us. We’re sponsored this time around by Winnie & Walter (thanks, Shay!) … our winner, as voted for by the DT, will receive a $25 GC … and as usual, will be invited to guest design with us in a future challenge. The details are over at Time Out, along with heaps of lovely inspiration from our fabulous DT … and from our talented Guest Designer, Arlene from Sunday Stamper Papercrafts. Do go and enjoy a visit with Arlene … there are so many inspiring designs to enjoy … and you can always say hello while you’re there!

Wonderful card, so detailed, Those cutaways are require more patience than I have! Love how you used the rainbow colours and super idea to add the contrast of the black sentiment x
I’ve always loved that phrase… you’ve brought it to paper just beautifully, Anita! Gorgeous sponging – and the POP of your black alphas are fabulous! and the ‘shadow play’ from lifting that faceted cutaway, gorgeous!

While your colorful background is fabulous, you had me with the polka dot letters! Another delightful card Anita!
Love your take on this challenge. The facet rainbow is so yummy, and I really love how you did that sentiment.
Anita, this is such a fabulous version of a rainbow card. the colors are crisp, there is such lovely white space and the sentiment shines. Perfection.
Fabulous blending of the rainbow colours and that die cut, cover plate is so striking. Fun idea to add the rivets/jewels to your wonderful card x.
I had two posts from you so hope this comment is on the right page x
Your rainbow of colors on this Cutaway is fabulous, Anita! I love how it keeps the eye moving around the pattern and how the B&W alphas pop on your design! Clever idea to add tiny dots with your silver pen. too…totally inspiring, my friend! Barb xx

Anita, I adore your rainbow die cut. It’s so beautifully blended with color. I like how you raised it and used the black letters with the dots to help the sentiment stand out. This card really stands out as a beauty, too!
Such a beautiful rainbow of prisms and the wonderful contrast by the black dotted sentiment – CAS perfection again!
