Today I have exciting news! Following my win over at Time Out with this card a few challenges ago, I am delighted to be joining the team today as a guest designer:
Their new challenge 314 is an 'Inspired By' challenge where they are asking us include a favourite beverage on our projects:
The sponsor for this new challenge is one of the Time Out Design Team members who is donating an adorable hand made bottle bag as the prize for the challenge winner, as chosen by the Design Team. The winner also gets an invitation to Guest Design with the Time Out team for a future challenge.
When considering my beverage of choice, I initially thought about maybe a nice glass of wine or refreshing gin & tonic, but my true favourite beverage will always be - a cup of tea! I love a good strong cup of English Breakfast tea at any time of day and drink more tea than any other beverage and often consume 6 or more cups a day, I decided to pair an old favourite stamp set with some beautiful new paper and have another play with some of the new In Colours - take a look at what I came up with:
Here's the low-down on today's card:
Yes it's the third outing for this layout - this time using the rectangle to feature a piece of the pretty Bloom Boutique specialty designer series paper. This paper pack is oh so pretty with its dainty florals and features all of the new in-colours within the pack. My chosen pattern today features Barely Blush and Crisp Cantaloupe flowers, with Peaceful Pine foliage and gold accents.
I carried the florals and colours into my flower-filled teacup, stamped and diecut using the retired A Cup Of Tea stamp set and co-ordinating dies, with gold foil accents and detailing and a teeny-tiny tea bag tag for my sentiment:
What's your favourite beverage? Do leave me a comment below and please join the team over at Time Out and play along too! I'm also linking my card up with m friends over at Colour Inkspiration today where their new challenge is to feature two or more of the new in colours.
Here is the visual summary of the key products used on today's project for you to pin for easy reference:
