I'm so thrilled to be the Guest Designer for
Time Out Challenge 238. This time it's an Inspired By Words Challenge and the sponsor is
Varada Sharma Digital Designs. The quote is: "Dare to love yourself as if you were a rainbow with gold at both ends." ~ Aberjhani
You can be inspired by the whole quote or any of the words. Hopefully you can tell that I used the words rainbow & gold.
The adorable Taylored Expressions umbrella die was a freebie in my last order. I die cut it from white scraps & then sponged with Distress Oxides candied apple, spiced marmalade, fossilized amber, lucky clover, faded jeans & wilted violet. Each one was backed with a white diecut circle covered with shimmer. My golden sunrays were made using light molding paste over the Honey Bee Radiant Circle stencil. I quickly added gold embossing powder & heated it with my heat tool. Beautifully gleaming texture in person!
The Impress Cards and Crafts sentiment was stamped in Versafine Clair Nocturne before I attached the umbrella circles with thin foam tape. I matted the panel with black cardstock & added a tiny pearl to the top of each umbrella. We're known in the Pacific Northwest for lots of days with both rain & sun, so we often see rainbows. That's what I had in mind when I created this card. Hope you like it & will play along in the challenge.
Thanks so much for taking time to stop by. If your blog address is in your profile or comment, I will visit you.
