Time Out Challenges has been really challenging me this year! There have been so many prompts and themes that are outside of my wheelhouse. I can skip, but I don't like to do it too often. So for todays card I had to stretch it more than a little.
I know that there are stamps out there that I could have used, but nothing that I have in my stash. And I don't want to buy items for my stash that I will use once in a blue moon (I am a little frugal with my stash spending I guess). I thought about Star Wars and along with the title image (like the graphic above), my first thought was the opening sequence with the stars and the open black space... I created my stars on black cardstock with a white gel pen and an Aqua Shimmer pen.
*Cardstock: Stampin' Up! Basic Black; Spellbinders gold foil
*Ink: white gel pen
*Dies: Simon Says Stamp Big Thanks
*Etc: Nuvo Aqua Shimmer
Very creative card! I can totally see how you were inspired. Love it! xx
ReplyDeleteThis is the perfect way to represent the theme of our challenge Nancy! You did a great job freehanding all of those stars!!! (I didn't think I would have any products to use either, so I went with some inspiration I found on Pinterest.)
ReplyDeleteNancy, I love how you created this fabulous thank you card from the inspiration. That starred background is fabulous and I love how the gold and black sentiment pop off the page. So creative! Thank you so much for having me along as your guest designer this week

I agree with you on both points, Nancy. The difficulty of some of the themes and not wanting to buy stamps for one challenge. We both managed to come up with a sky that worked and you have been very creative on other challenges too.
ReplyDeleteOMG Nancy, this is amazing! Such a simple design but so elegant! Hugs, Kate!
ReplyDeleteI love the way you were inspired here, Nancy, and you executed your idea perfectly with not purchase. That is fantastic, as is this card! Great take on our challenge!
