One of my favourite challenges every year at Time Out Challenges is our CASE the Designer Challenge... and with this challenge, we are also celebrating Time Out's 11th Birthday!
And as I started to write this post, I realized that my sentiment wasnt the most "birthday" even though my card is... sigh... I think I musth have grabbed the wrong sentiment out of my bin, thinking it was one of the birthday ones. I guess I wasn't paying attention! So I had to quickly change things up... I found a larger sentiment, stamped it on a die cut circle and completely covered the original sentiment, this time popping it up on some foam adhesive.
I chose to rotate my design and instead of flowers, I used balloons and spots. I kept the embossed part of the design, the one colourful side, a centred black and white sentiment and while I too did a top layer, I added a thin black matted layer as well.

Another beautiful design Nancy! I love the embossed balloons and the spots ... and that large bold focal sentiment and the black border that draws the eye towards it - I learn so much about design from you! Hugs, Kate!
