Guest Designer at Time Out Challenges

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.

I'm entering SSS Wednesday.
