TIME OUT Reminder


Hi guys!
This is my reminder card for the current challenge at TIME OUT where we are Inspired by Words

'Love is the flower you've got to let grow' 

(This is a lyric from the John Lennon song 'Mind Games')

You can use the whole sentiment as your inspiration or just use some words. 

I chose the word "flowers" and colored in a PTI flower stamp with Copics. The sentiment is Finnish for "For Mum" - I sent this for my mother for Valentine's which in Finland is known as "Friendship Day". I sent a whole bunch of cards today, Friendship Day is great for using the "all occasions" cards one has in the stash! :) In making the card I also used a stencil for the background. This is not my finest Copic coloring, I'm rusty... But my Mum won't mind I think. :)

I was heavily inspired by the current Muse Challenge here where Anita Bowden provided this inspiration card:


I was inspired by the layout and also the idea for using a bg stencil came from this card. I love the subtle bg on Anita's card but didn't want to dry emboss the colored image just in case if I would mess it up somehow! :)

I'd also like to enter Addicted to CAS: Bloom



I hope to see you playing along at TIME OUT! There's a prize for crabs by Clearly Besotted Stamps so do not hesitate, play long!
