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!

That is such a cute image and will be perfect for someone who works at a gym....I love the bright colors of the bg. And I can't believe you go every day...I'm lucky to go 3x a week...not a huge exercise person but it must be done ;)

Nicely done creating a card so quickly for the girl at the gym and using the TH stencil to create the wall at the gym that is genius. Thank you so much for playing along in my challenge.

What you see as the gym wall, I see as iridescent beads of Gatorade sweat being flung by that hard-working girl. A workout so intense the drink doesn't have time to change color on the way through!! LOL

What a fun card for your gym friend. Love the spatters on the wall, and the pup doing the exercises is cute too!
