Tall Tale for Time Out #294

Happy Sunday – again!

Not sure what it is about the Time Out challenges – but I’m loving them!  This week we have to choose 2 options from a range that they provided.  Oh….. BOOKS was one of those choices.  I mean….books!  True story; when Lou and I decided that we were going to become a real item we decided to live together.  I packed up my goodies and moved thousands of miles and he almost fainted when he saw that I had brought 47 boxes of books with me!  And they weren’t shoe boxes, either! 🙂  He had lots to say about it – not least of all that we were going to need a bigger bookcase :-). Anyway, I think you can guess by now that books is one of the words that I chose.  The other was RAINBOW.  I brought out a new set for me – Tall Tale from Altenew.  So, no existential crisis on this challenge – it was an easy decision!

And here are the choices for the Time Out challenge:

My card contains books!, stripes, and a rainbow.  I incorporated the rainbow by coloring the books in rainbow order 🙂
I stamped the bookshelf image from the Tall Tale stamp set and then colored it with my Ohuhu markers.  I didn’t want a well blended feel, so didn’t need my Copics for this.  I thought some texture would be fine for this image.
I then die-cut the image and arranged it across the bottom of a mini slimline card.  I added a simple sentiment from the stamp set and the card was ready.
Here’s my full card:

I know the design team at Time Out would love it if you played along – and you have until the 13th to do so!  Also, some fabulous inspiration from the team on their challenge site.

I’ll be back tomorrow with another card.  In the meantime, warm hugs and prayers for those of you who need a little lift tonight.

Hugs

Jaydee
