The current challenge at Time Out uses this quote:
It's one of my favorite quotes, and the perfect inspiration for a birthday card I needed to make for one of my favorite young ladies who will soon be 16. I've used the "Celebrate It" for my inspiration.
I've had this stunning image from Concord and 9th ("Happy Day") for a long time, but this is the first time I've used it. I stamped it in black on Tim Holtz watercolor card and got out my Daniel Smith watercolors.
I have an iridescent silver which I mixed with the bright pink which gives it a pretty glimmer. I added some Glitter Glue to the frosting as well.
I die cut the image with one of the Simon Says "Stitched Rectangles" and mounted it on a piece of sparkly textured cardstock I found in my stash. (I have no idea where it came from!) The final touch was to add a few sequins. We're going to be out of town for the birthday party, but I'm leaving the card with her mom. I hope she likes it.
You'll find other celebratory cards right here at the Time Out Challenges blog.
