Island Summer

 

Challenge #269 at Time Out Challenges has just gone live and this fortnight we have an Inspired By Words Challenge with this quote from Lilly Pulitzer

"It's always Summer somewhere"

An Inspired By Words challenge works exactly as you would expect - you take the words from the featured quote and use them to inspire your creation!   You can use one word, multiple words or just the general idea of the quote.

This challenge is generously being sponsored by Varada Sharma and they are offering our Top Pick as chosen by the design teams a $25 credit to the store!  The Top Pick will also be invited to join Time Out as a guest designer in a future challenge!

Speaking of guest designers, our guest designer this fortnight is Betty O'Keefe of Created by BFK!  Be sure to check out her gorgeous interpretation of our quote as well as my talented team mates over on the Time Out Blog!

How do these words inspire you and where do they lead your imagination?  We hope you can take Time Out of your busy schedule to come play cards with us!

While I was playing around with an old stamp set (WMS My Island) last month, I created a few different scenes and this is one of them. I cut it with a Spellbinder classic oval, stacked it, matted it and mounted it on an ornate oval (Spellbinders Floral Ovals) that I had cut from Kraft and gone over with gilding wax so it looked like an old fashioned gilded picture frame.  This frame has stars around the edge of the oval and it made me think of star fish one might be lucky enough to find washed up onto this idyllic beach.

It was then just a matter of stamping this sentiment from the My Island set and adding it to a black card base. 

I'd like to enter these fabulous challenges
