This time I'm joining the fabulous Vanessa Menhorn and her 'Rainbow' challenge. She is wanting us to create a project using whatever you like to make it rainbow coloured in some way. I love a good rainbow and had an idea straight away of what to make.....:
I created my 'pastel rainbow' by brushing different coloured Distress Inks across a piece of water colour paper with a wet brush, making sure they slightly overlapped. I then die-cut the faceted rectangle from it and also from a piece of white foam. I glued the rainbow piece on to the foam, which gave it a lot of dimension without having to cut out millions of tiny pieces of foam tape. Laura Bassen had this idea (to die-cut foam) in one of her videos recently and its changed my life!!
I cut a panel of gold glitter CS and adhered it over the card front. I then glued the rainbow panel over top. After die-cutting the 'hello' from some gold glitter CS and twice more from white CS, I glued them all together with the gold piece slightly higher. This was then adhered to the card. Its so hard to capture the glitter of the gold in my photos but its sitting here beside me glistening away.
The 'hello' die is from Winnie and Walter, as well as the Multi-Faceted Die. The gold glitter CS is from American Crafts.
I have four other challenges I would like to enter:
W&W Belated 2nd Birthday Bash Challenge with Gayatri (Create your own background)
W&W Belated 2nd Birthday Bash Challenge with Heather H (Gold with Watercolour)
Inkspirational Challenge # 103
Simon Says Stamp - Wednesday Challenge (Anything Goes)
One more post and then I'm off to sleep. Its not supposed to be so hot tomorrow, which is great because I have a lot of gardening work to do. Everyone seems to be doing well health wise too at the moment (touch wood) so hopefully I will also have no sick children this week!!
Take care
