Time Out #47...Birthday Wishes




Hello and welcome to a new challenge at Time Out.  This week, our theme is BIRTHDAY with an optional twist of SPONGING.


I decided to make a birthday card using PTI Winter Woods stamps and dies.  I sponged several colors of Distress inks on my card front before attaching the die cut trees.  



I am also entering this card at Seize the Birthday, where the theme is Anything Goes, and Simon Says Monday Challenge: Something New.




I hope that you will take some Time Out to play along with us over the next two weeks.  Please see the Time Out challenge blog to see more inspiration from the Design Team and our Guest Designer Rema.  Our sponsor this week is Uniko.



Thanks for Visiting
