Amazing DIY Rainbow Background

We could all use something to brighten our day at this time in our lives. Some more than others. I hope this card inspires you to pay it forward and send someone a card that may need to know you are thinking about them.

For me, this card makes me think of all of YOU! You ALL make me smile. In an otherwise gloomy world outside, my crafting bubble, fellow stampers & paper crafters really make me smile. I'm so grateful that all my family is healthy and safe, and that I have this creative outlet to engage in. I love inspiring others with my creations, so I truly hope this inspires you or makes you smile.

Here is the video tutorial I created so you can see all the details on how I created this card.

I've had more than my share of recording hiccups lately, I hope my missing the 'putting the card together' portion didn't affect the final outcome of your cards. I'm pretty sure you get the just of how I put the card together. If you have any questions please feel free to post them in the comments below and I will get back to you.

Challenges, challenges, and more challenges!

You are the BEST!

I'm a challenge addict this week! They're so much fun and some really take me out of my comfort zone...egads! In one of the challenges listed below I choose to use "Bright Bold Colors" which I normally don't gravitate towards, so ya, this pulled me out of my comfort zone for sure.

Here are the Challenges I played along with:

Festive Friday Challenge #FF0052

You have to incorporate 3 of the 10 items into your project

Tuesday Morning Sketches #TMS541

A sketch Challenge

So, while I love rainbows, I'm not great at creating them. I did my best to create a rainbow background incorporating "Bright Colors" One of the three things I used for #FF0052.

I have listed all the supplies for you down below.

I set out on some watercolor paper and pulled out 7 bright rainbow color ink pads and just started laying the color down. After it was dry I dripped some water droplets on it from my hand to create the light ink splatter look. I love how the water removes some of the color and creates a beautiful effect on your project. All in all, I was pretty pleased with how it turned out. As you can see I used the watercolor background in place of the doily in #TMS541. Then I had to figure out what other two things I would use from the #FF0052 list. I decided on Sequins and Foil!

This was my first attempt at foiling over an embossed image. I heat set the sentiment with clear embossing powder then ran it thru my laminator. I LOVED the results!! I was so impressed. I think I might be hooked on foiling now. I used the second largest oval die in the "Stitched Shapes Dies" to cut out my sentiment to replace the circle in the #TMS541 Sketch.

To replace the rectangle in the #TMS541 Sketch I foiled a 1/4" piece of tacky tape. I just burnished it with my bone folder and it turned out so great too! #Loveit!

I added 7 sequins to match the inks I used, then embossed the white background with an old dots Sizzix folder I had in my stash.

I hope this inspires you to play along! Let me know if you do.
