Time Out Challenge #3 - Theme Challenge with an Optional Twist

Hi everyone!  We have a new challenge over on the Time Out blog.  This time around it's a theme challenge with an optional twist.  The theme is Birthday and the optional twist is to make it a masculine birthday.  And there are prizes too!  More about that at the end of this post.

 

I'm not good at masculine cards, so I chose not to use the twist.  I was playing with some water coloring the other day and had this piece on my craft desk.  I pulled out my Tipped Tops dies and went to work cutting it up.  I die cut the shape and the word together.  Then I die cut the word from the yellow cardstock and inlaid it into the water colored paper.  Love that look.  To finish it off, I created the flower added dimensionals in between each layer to bulk it up.  I added some star dust stickles to the center for some sparkle.  The sentiment was stamped in pigment ink and embossed in clear powder. 

Now for the prizes.  We are giving away two prizes:  one winner who uses the masculine twist and the other prize will be to an overall winner.  The prizes are offered by Uniko Stamps.

 

 

Prize 1 for those doing the twist will be chosen randomly and will be a £15 gift voucher.

 

Prize 2 is the overall challenge and will receive these stamp and die sets.

 

 

 

So we hope you play along.  For more inspiration, stop by these blogs.
