Time Out #32

Hello,

Another Thursday and time for our next challenge at Time Out!  This week it is the popular CASE with your own twist challenge and we have a fabulous inspiration card by Deepti from Dee's Art Utopia to get your creative juices flowing. 

Deepti is a very talented cardmaker and is now a stamp designer too - check out her new stamp range Dee's Artsy Impressions over at Stamplorations.  Her blog is full of inspiration, just like this card
:

 

There are so many gorgeous elements to work with on this beauty - the patterned paper, the chalkboard effect, fabulous florals, colours, layout etc.  Here is my first CASE of Deepti's card:


 
 
I was inspired by the colours and checks in the patterned paper and reflected them in my gingham butterflies from Clearly Besotted.  I thought the black base in Deepti's card added real drama so I added a band of black cardstock at the bottom and white embossed a sentiment from Stamplorations.
 
I look forward to seeing how you will be inspired.  The talented DT each have their own twist to share with you at the TO blog and we are joined for this challenge by a wonderful GD, Maura who constantly produces stand out cards.  Check out her inspiring gallery over at Splitcoast Stampers.
 
I will also link up at the Anything Goes Challenge at Simon's Wednesday Challenge.
 
Thank you, as always, for stopping by :)
