Inspired By A Word

The  Try It On Tuesday Design Team have been pondering on words this time and becoming inspired by just one word! It may be part of a quote but please tell us what the word that inspired you is!
Please do take a look here to get some inspiration!
I have made a card to give some encouragement to someone!

The image is a Crafty Individuals one. When I saw this image as part of a giveaway in a magazine I remembered that I had this stamp in rubber too and it fits perfectly with my chosen word - which is 'BELIEVE'
The butterflies are flying close by some teasles - nothing much there for them but they can see what we can't- just around the back of the teasles is a meadow full of flowers.
Sometimes it's not about what you see in front of you but what may be coming next
This is the inside of the card
I used one of my favourite swirl stamps (also by Crafty Individuals) onto a gelli print background which I softened with a light braying of Snowflake Fresco paint.
I stamped and heat embossed the two butterflies from the main stamp and used another CI stamp to pick out the word using a distress marker and with a bit of 'hahh-ing' stamped it onto book paper.
Finally I added some Peeled Paint distress ink around the edges and added some doodle outlining!

We are all looking forward to seeing which words inspire you and as usual the challenge runs for 2 weeks from the date of this post.

Thanks for looking, Chris
