Happy November 1st! It's Tuesday, so that means it's time for a new Flourishes Timeless Tuesday Challenge and time to welcome the talented Miriam Napler who will be joining in the fun for the month of November! This week Beate is our Hostess and is challenging us all to create a project using the Out of the Box technique. All you do is stamp the image and let it partially hang out of the frame/shape. Beate has a fab video tutorial on Splitcoaststampers: Out of the box with Nestabilities if you are not familiar with this technique.

Being a newbie myself and never having tried the creative Out of the Box technique, I gave it a try and here's what I came up with:

I stamped the pretty sprig of Mistletoe from Meet me Under the Mistletoe ~ a set full of gorgeous images and coordinating sentiments ~ colored with Copic markers, trimmed around the part that was to hang outside the circle, then using a Spellbinders Classic Circle SM die template, I cut/embossed the image. I layered the image on top of a Lacey Circle and an Eyelet Circle die cut.

For sketch inspiration, I played along with the current Cardabilities Sketch Challenge:

Shown below are a few of the collections of Copic Markers from which I used a marker from:

Thanks so much for visiting! I hope you take on the challenge and for some awesome inspiration, please be sure to see what the rest of the DT has created: Tammy, Heather, Silke, Makiko, Cindy, Beate, Mona (that's me), Miriam Napler (November Guest Designer) and visit the Flourishes site for COMPLETE details on how to join in on the fun!
