hi there,
Here is my card for the WT challenge today; Inspired by an Ad. 'Dove' soap is running a body image campaign for women to be happy with who they are. With social media being such an influence on the young women of today, to see an ad that talks about being happy with who we are is such an important message so that's what I based my card on.
I inked up my acrylic block with a variety of colours by colouring directly onto my block with Memento markers (represents our differences), sprayed with water and stamped onto my card front. The circles symbol how we all need to come together and support each other.

Very lovely card Karen! Great colors. I totally agree with you on the women's body image campaign. It's something very positive and it's something that's good for every woman to accept themselves for who they are. I know the older I get, the more comfortable I get in my skin, but it took a long time to get there.
Again, your card is beautiful and I'm sure the recipient will really appreciate your art!

What a great ad to inspire you, I think it is a terrific . Your card is very cool looking. I like the colors and how you used the circles to symbolize the girls coming together.

A beautiful card and a great write-up too with so much truth. I like the symbolism behind your circles. No TV and no commercial radio so I'm mostly a prints and poster ads person, but I've always thought the Dove ads in magazines were great.
