Challenge 220 - Make Your Own Background

Hello Crafty Friends! 

Time for a new challenge at Time Out!

Challenge #220 - Make Your Own Background 

Our sponsor  is STAMPlorations and the prize is a $25 Gift Certificate

We are so excited to have Hannelie Bester of Desert Diva and winner of Challenge #217 as our Guest Designer for this challenge. Hannelie's work is just wonderful, and a delight to behold. If you haven't already, take a stroll through Hannelie's blog and you are sure to be wowed and inspired.

Here is a bit about Hannelie in her own words:

"Hi, my name is Hannelie Bester, I am a South-African living in the United Arab Emirates (Abu Dhabi) for the last 14 years. We moved to the UAE because of a job opportunity that was offered to my husband.

I’ve been making cards for many years, but I started blogging soon after we moved here... hence the title of my blog!

Living so far away from my loved ones, made me realize just how much I love them. Card making helps me cope with being far away from home, and challenges my right brain, since I am a left-brained, logical and analytical pharmacist at heart. 

Clean, simple & graphic would be a good description of my card making style."

Here is Hannelie's fabulous card:

Here is a bit about Deepti in her own words:

'Hello there, I am Deepti, a UX Designer by profession and a crafter by passion. I'm from Delhi, India but currently residing in Belgium. I have been crafting for almost a decade, but I got introduced to stamping in 2016 and got hooked on it. I enjoy everything crafty and love to experiment & try different techniques. I don't have a particular card-making style but mostly it's clean, simple, colorful, and bright. I am so excited to be Guest designing for Time Out."
