The
Time Out Challenge blog is in the middle of celebrating their fifth year with a special celebratory challenge!
STAMPlorations is sponsoring this challenge, and I used stamps from one of their lines by my blog friend,
Deepti Malik called Dee's Artsy Impressions:
This is a combination of two of the stamp sets in her line:
Blossom Sprays #2, and
You & Me. I second generation inked them in Memento Summer Sky and colored them with Copics. The hugs and the kisses smaller stamps were stamped later with Brilliance Lavender ink and highlighted a little with a Zig Writer marker. The bottom edge of the panel and a scrap piece of light purple cardstock were cut out with a MFT stitched scallop Basic Edges die.
Copics: B0000,000,12,14,16,63,66, BV000,00,02,04,08, G20,21,24,28, YG0000,21,23,25
I hope you will join us in celebrating five years with the
Time Out Challenge team and create a card using their prompt!
Thanks for coming over to visit! I hope you have a wonderful day!

This card is absolutely STUNNING Kara!! I am just blown away by your mad coloring skills on this flower...the shading is absolutely GORGEOUS! Lovely, lovely card my friend!! :0)
ReplyDeleteHoly smokes Kara, this is STUNNING!!!
ReplyDeleteNaomi (pronounced Kara), this is a real stunner. Saw it on IG, and was wowed there. Wanted to save commenting for here, as I'd rather comment on a blog, and I could see the image better on a bigger screen. Your coloring continues to hypnotize me; I could look at your card for hours. Perfect choice of colors and as always, your coloring is beyond incredible. Can't wait for Wednesday. Better pack a couple of suitcases, cuz I'm holding you hostage, lol!! xo Bev
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely stunning, your colouring is beyond words!
ReplyDeleteGaspingly gorgeous, Kara ... the depth and dimension you've created with your oh so skilled colouring is fantastic ... a complete stunner! You've inspired our players at Time Out (and everyone else too!) beautifully ... thanks so much for being our Guest Designer during our 5th birthday celebrations! Big hugs, Anita :)
ReplyDeleteWow Kara!! I'm in awe of this beautiful card. Your eye for detail is so keen. Adding just that little bit of shadow on the stamped sentiments is over the top amazing and your coloring is fabulous too!
ReplyDeleteYou are such an artist with that wonderful coloring and shading. The colors are simply gorgeous and I love the scalloped design at the bottom. I can smell the flowers!
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous flower image! And, your coloring is fabulous!!
ReplyDeleteGirl, this is breathtaking! I swear I can smell the heady aroma of this brilliant bouquet welcoming spring to Blogland! Colored superbly, of course, and I love the way you did the sediment and the double handkerchief points!! Miss you Mwah! Hugs, Darnell
ReplyDeleteI have Deepti's flowers but I never make them look this good, Kara. Copics make the difference I'm sure since you are the Copic Queen.
ReplyDeleteTotally stunning no line coloring! I love to color in images but no line technique is something I haven't really tried much -I guess it just feels a bit intimidating! However, our card is super inspiring and makes me think I should definitely try this! Beautiful, beautiful card. Thanks for another inspiring GD make for us at TO! xxx
ReplyDeleteOMG your colouring skills are spectacular!! This is definitely a work of art, Deepti must be so thrilled to see you using her stamps like this, makes me want to buy them asap!! I'm so very happy your with us to celebrate our birthday, you definitely made me smile with your creations!!!!
ReplyDeleteWow ....what amazing colouring skills and what an amazing and beautiful card x.
ReplyDeleteWow - this is just stunning! I love how you added the shading with Copics - it makes those gorgeous blooms look simply majestic! Thanks so much for bringing us such wonderful inspiration as our Guest Designer :)
