It's time for a new challenge at Time Out. Challenge #238 is an Inspired By Words challenge where the words are "Dare to love yourself as if you were a rainbow with gold at both ends."
We are generously sponsored by Varada Sharma. We will have 2 winners - one chosen by the Design Team, and one chosen at random. Winners will receive a $15.00 store credit to shop at Varada's store.
This time we welcome Greta Hess of GG Creations, and winner of Time Out #235, as our Guest Designer. Greta really captured the essence of our quote so beautifully. Do take a stroll through Greta's blog and treat yourself to some wonderful inspiration.
I used Varada's 12 Point Mandala image, and Copic colored it in rainbow colors. The sentiment is from a stamp set that was a collaboration between Hero Arts and Honey bee called You Are Amazing. I thought it went perfectly with the quote. I heat embossed it in gold (though it looks black in the picture), gave it a black mat, mounted that on a white card base, and my card was complete.
