TIME OUT #147 - Inspired By Words

In our TIME OUT challenge this fortnight, we are asking you to be inspired by the following words:

"Dream Big, Be Grateful, Give Love, Laugh Lots"



Our very generous sponsor for this challenge is Uniko who are generously offering the winner of the challenge an in-stock stamp of their choice :)   



For my card, I decided to focus on the "grateful" part of the words to create a thank you card (can never have too many of those!). I stamped the Uniko Background Wonky Stripes onto some watercolour cardstock in Versafine Onyx ink and then watercoloured using some shimmery Autumn colours. I originally thought that I was going to stay within the lines but eventually decided that I liked the look of continuous colour. I used a Winnie & Walter die to add in the "thanks" (stacked 4 times with cardstock) and stamped a second Altenew greeting across the bottom of the watercoloured image. 






Thanks so much for stopping by!
Jill
