It spoke so loudly to me of courage that I decided to take advantage of the variety of colors/textures, and add a motivating sentiment too. It just seems that more and more of my friends need encouragement lately. Life is great, but sometimes it's hard too! ;)
Please join the fun for IC512. I know you'll also be inspired to create something uniquely your own that sends a greeting of hope and encouragement too!
(I have 2 more cards that I'll unload tomorrow - the paint is drying - LOL)
Big swishy hugs,
Audrie

Oh, Audrie, this is beautiful and a great inspiration card for the painting you chose! Ah, yes, life is hard, and we all sure need encouragement! So we just never give up! Love that sentiment! Hugs, and thanks for a great challenge this week. I'm not very abstract, but who knows!

Beautiful card. There is nothing better than a hand made card given to someone for encouragement. Love the free flowing watercoloring with the subtle edges. TFS

Audrie, this is a wonderful encouragement card. I really like the sparkly border you've created. Sparkly cards always cheer me up.
