Yesterday the girl that works at my gym told me that today is her birthday. So I had to figure out how to make her a birthday card for Lisa's âeoeWater's Edgeâe challenge. I decided to use watercolor paper and markers to recreate the gym wall. It has orange, red, and purple splatters that look just like my Tim Holtz Grunge stencil. I colored the stencil with Spectrum Aqua markers and then added some water to soften them up. After I picked up some color on my brush, I did some splattering of my own. I had to use this fun digi from The Paper Shelter for her card and to make it work for today's challenge, I drew a water bottle.
Today is also the day for the Crafters of Faith Challenge. Barb (barbaralynn) has challenged us to make a card showing how we live life to the fullest. Well, I go to the gym every day at work and that gives me the energy to live life to the fullest!
Thanks for two fun challenges, ladies!

You are a fast thinker, Jenn. This is adorable and I love there is even the water bottle there.

So playful and FUN! Love how you used your stencil for the background to look like the wall at your gym. The digi image is cute too! Great take on the challenge!

I feel the same way about my swimming...it keeps me active and social! Too bad I was injured and I'm trying to build back up! Baby steps... and a smile! Fun take on the COF challenge!

Super cute! Going to the gym is an excellent way to live life to the fullest. Love the workout buddies. Fabulous splatter on the "wall". So bright and cheerful. Terrific card! TFS

Great idea for your card for these challenges and I'm impressed that you drew your own water bottle to go with it! Love the splattered colors on your background and the fun choice for your Birthday greeting.
