Time Out #133 - Theme Challenge

Hey friends!  It's time for a new Time Out challenge.  This week is our theme challenge, and the theme is embellishments.  We want you to use two or more embellishments on your card.  Not a difficult challenge, huh?
 
We are sponsored by Birch Press Designs, and they sent me this beautiful stitched maple circle frame die to use.  I love it because there are so many parts that you can use together or separately (you'll see that from the design team who used this same die!).  I started by playing with some alcohol inks that I've had forever.  I have added to my collection and recently purchased the alcohol pearls too (haven't used those yet)!  I went with some fall-ish colors because of the maple leaf design.  I created the alcohol design on alcohol ink cardstock, let it dry completely and then die cut the design from it and also from white cardstock.  Then I inlaid all the pieces.  I did this because the circles are so delicate.  This way, they stayed nice and circular, if you know what I mean!  I added the sentiment on white cardstock also and it looked too bland, so I sponged some ink on it to make it stand out.  Since the challenge is to use two or more embellishments, I added the jewels and a double twine bow to the stem of the leaf.  Now I'm not gonna lie...I was so concerned about using the sponsor die that I didn't pay attention to the challenge!  At first I only added the jewels, then at the end realized I needed another embellishment!  The twine bow seemed the most natural choice and I do like it!

The colours of these are amazing-such a wonderful mix of Autumn! You did a great job with the die and it is perfectly round...if you know what I mean! I think the twine was the exact mix for these colours-lovely card Lisa

What gorgeous, rich autumn colours on your delicious wreath, Lisa ... the little natural twine bow round the large leaf is perfect with it! Hugs, Anita :)

What a gorgeous fall background you created with your alcohol inks and used for this wonderful inlaid design. The twine is indeed perfect, as are the yellow sequins. Beautiful card.
