I have the pleasure to be a guest designer at Time Out Challenges. I was touched, surprised, and humbled to be asked by such a fantastic group. I am also happy to announce their theme for this fortnight is 'encouraging'! I believe you can't have too many of these encouraging cards in your stash. So, without further ado here is my card today, enjoy!

| With the exception of the heart, ribbon and its flower embellishment this entire card is completely digital and one layer. However, I do have to say the background flowers and leaves were hand-colored. |

| Photoshop Elements does a fantastic job when designing digital cards! All I did for the sentiment strip was blocked a portion of the background and set the flowers to be a white silhouette. Then I added a layer for the sentiment and one for highlighting 'never'. I honestly do recommend photo editing software. It takes your digital stamps and makes them so versatile and you can manipulate in ways you could never do with traditional stamps. |
Thank you so much for stopping by and do appreciate you taking time out of your busy day to spend it with me. Also, I want to thank my hosts, Time Out Challenges for this gracious honor! I do hope you join their challenge. For me, it was great fun and I am sure it will be for you as well. Thank you all and I hope you have a fantastic day with lots of good crafting vibes headed your way.
