Rainbow Birthday Wishes

 I am very happy to guest designer at AAA Birthday Challenge this month.

I started with the butterfly cover plate and turned it into a stencil using rainbow colours.  So I ended up with a 2 for 1.

I used some of the white butterflies to add some interest and depth.

I die cut a frame and popped it up to add interest to the more white card.

Just love the bright rainbow colours!

Two for 1 Rainbow Blending

I love rainbow colours ! Using the negative flower die cut as a stencil, I ink blended everything which means I got a twofer!

Here is the negative cut. I added enamel accents to the flower centres to match the colours in that area.

I used white enamel dots for the rainbow flowers.

It's been a while since I posted on my blog or instagram. I've had a lot going on in real life the last 9 months.

This is a card I made a while back as part of a series made by die-cutting card stock that I had distressed in rainbow colours - last one! (The first card can be found here, and the second set of 2 is here and the 3rd here).

Rainbow Birthday Hugs

Here is another card made by die-cutting card stock that I had distressed in rainbow colours. (The first card can be found here, and the second set of 2 is here). 

I'm using the rainbow outline only. Got more coming with the rainbow on the inside.

I used a stencil with embossing paste which was sprinkled with crystal sparkles while still wet.

Up Close on the yellow to violet side ... you can see the lovely shimmer on the stencil pattern. I also die cut some small hearts to match the colours.

Here is the green to red side.

Rainbow Wishes

 I gave a zoom class to my group of regular stampers since we are stuck in lockdown. It was quite fun as some were in the UK. I tend to go to my stamps and ink way more than my dies, so I was doing cards using die cuts.

First I distressed some cardstock in rainbow colours. I had planned for more pastel colours, but in the end, I over-distressed and I had bright colours. For these 2 cards, I only used the bottom section of the wide panel. 

I die cut once in the rainbow cardstock, and once in white.

I drew a rectangle around the card in pencil, using a ruler to get it straight. Then I went over it by hand with a black pen. Shaded with Copics. I just LOVE these sentiments from the Greetery set Birthday Blooms.

I kept the rainbow outline very simple.

I added Tonic Nuvo Glitter Gloss to the leaves and enamel accents to match the colours.

More cards are coming! I ended up with 12 cards!

Rainbow Blooms

I can't resist rainbow colours and I was inspired by Lisa's design.

Rainbow Card Set

I have wanted to make up this set of cards from this stamp set for ages. To keep it simple I picked one colour for each Bible verse and coloured with Prismacolour pencils. 

To make the frames pop, I mounted them on white card embossed with the very subtle 3D embossing folder from Stampin' Up.

Peeking Rainbow

Taking a stroll down memory lane with folded corners and  buttons... and added the MFT rainbow die cut which is an oldie, but still never been used by me!
