Challenge #95 Theme with Optional Twist

Hello friends of TIME OUT!

Thank you everyone who played along in our previous challenge. Do come back next Wednesday to see if you are one of the winners! 

Now it's time for our Theme with the Optional Twist challenge:

Sympathy With the Optional Twist of Distressing 

For distressing you could use inking, distress edges or paper tearing for example. We look forward seeing what you come up with! If you decide to choose the Optional Twist you'll have a chance to win a $15 gift voucher to Happy Little Stampers, who are sponsoring this challenge.

Happy Little Stampers


Our guest designer this time is Sue from Sue's Card Craft.


Sue has the most wonderful CAS style and her cards often have artsy mixed media details too. We'd love you to visit her blog and leave her some crafty love!

Let's have a look how Sue and our design team members have been inspired!

Gorgeous cards, I'm sure you all agree. Now it's your turn to take TIME OUT and craft! This challenge runs until 5 pm GMT November 8th so you have two weeks to play along. Sympathy cards are maybe not the ones that are the most fun to make but we do need them for bringing joy for those in need for support! Happy crafting!
