Hey there! (That's a Catherine Pooler tagline!) The Time Out challenge this time is sponsored by Catherine Pooler Designs (hence the "hey there!"), and the challenge is to be unique.
I was a little stumped at first, so I did what everyone usually does and went to Pinterest. I found some interesting prints of black silhouettes against book print. Score! I purchased a dictionary at a dollar store years ago and pulled it out. I tore out a page and adhered it to a piece of cardstock to make it more stable. Then I die cut it with a stitched rectangle and stamped the images and sentiment in Versafine onyx black ink for that silhouette look. I masked the flower to stamp the leaves, however I don't think I really needed to because it was all stamped in the black ink. I added this piece onto a black mat that was also die cut with a larger stitched rectangle. The base is a cream cardstock because white was too bright. I added some crystals on the flowers and around the piece. I think stamping on a dictionary page is pretty unique!

I LOVE the stamping on the printed paper. Lovely design!
Such a great idea to stamp on a dictionary page - I love the effect that it created - you captured the "black and white art print" look brilliantly!
Gorgeous card, and I really love that sentiment. Brilliant use of book page.
What a fabulous and UNIQUE idea to use the dictionary for card making. Love the black stamping on top of it. Fantastic card.
Gosh, that bejewelled silhouette bloom is so elegant and dramatic against the unique typeprint, Lisa ... and what a fun and delightful sentiment ... this is just lovely! Hugs, Anita :)
Great take on the challenge! The dictionary page looks amazing and gives your card some vintage feel. Love the crispness of the black flower and sentiment, very eye catching card. xxx
