Hello sweet Winnie & Walter friends! Vanessa
here with a fun challenge! I don't know about you, but I love rainbows
and they make me happy everytime I see one. So a bright, colorful card surely
puts a smile onto my face, too! My challenge for you is as simple as that:
RAINBOW
Create any kind of rainbow on your projects. Use inks, cardstock,
watercolors, stamping, embellishments - whatever makes you happy! I made two
samples for you and would love to see your take on my rainbow challenge :)
For the first card, I played with Distress Inks. I had so much fun
creating this:
I stamped the gems from the My
Precious set with various Distress Inks onto a panel of watercolor
paper. Then I used a water tank brush and painted over the gems to pull the
color into these rays. After everything was dried, I stamped the sentiment. Now
I adhered the panel to a Kraft card base and finished the card off with
matching sequins.
For the second card, I used solid stamps to create a rainbow:
Using the large solid circle from Scenery: BIGGER Bang Confetti, I
stamped a row onto a piece of white cardstock, using rainbow colored dye inks.
Then I trimmed a strip from that row of circles to fit my card. I trimmed a
panel of white cardstock, stamped "sending" from The
Big, the Bold and Friends and adhered the panel to a black card base.
Now I adhered my rainbow strip and added matching sequins. Finally, I die-cut
my large word using The Big, the Bold and Friends Cutaways from black cardstock
and adhered it to the card.
I hope you'll join me for the challenge! Can't wait to see you
take!
Vanessa
