I'm excited to be Guest Designer over at Time Out today! I was asked because my card was chosen the winner for Challenge #227
And this is the challenge - Inspired by Words
Here is the card I made for the challenge, inspired by the quote:
No stamping - all die cuts!?! I just love the look of this layered plaid die set from TH/Sizzix. I used a Chrome Precision Plate for Thinlit Dies in my cutting sandwich to be sure all the lines got cut through on the plaid pieces.
The sentiment was made using one of the Bold Text #2 dies also from TH/Sizzix.
I layered it over a black panel with foam strips and adhered red acrylic hearts inside the open letters - seen better in the close up below!
Todays Time Out challenge is sponsored by AALL & Create and the winning entry will receive a $20.00 credit to their online store- so be sure to link up a card over at Time Out!
Thank you Time Out for inviting me to be a Guest Designer today! I had fun creating this card based on the Inspired Words!

Paper: Pure Poppy, True Black, White - Papertrey Ink
Accessories: Layered Plaid dies, Bold Text #2 dies - Tim Holtz/Sizzix, Chrome Precision Plate - Sizzix, red acrylic hearts - Honey Bee Stamps, foam strips.
I love this plaid background but even more, I love how you've substituted red acrylic hearts for the missing bits in the sentiment letters! I usually go crazy trying to set aside these pieces and slot them in afterwards because they drive me crazy empty - it never occurred to me to add something like a heart! Thank you for guesting at Time Out this fortnight - your cards always inspire and amaze! Hugs, Kate!
