Hello every one and thank you for visiting: I'm participating in the April Rainbow Challenge over at
LiveLoveCards which is the blog of a dear friend, Darlene De Vries, who is one of the most talented crafters I know. Her blog is dedicated to exploring new techniques and products from all kinds of companies, giving us who follow her, a fantastic glimpse of what's new and hot out there in the vast and fabulous card making industry.
This acrylic stamp/die I used is from Sizzix and it's called
Welcome Home , I bought it at Hobby Lobby at a clearance sale for very little money, I'm always looking for bargains!!
Ok, here is my card,
I colored the little houses with Prismacolor pencils and baby oil, I've done other cards using this technique, it's fun and easy to do. You do need some paper stumps, I get mine also at Hobby Lobby.
I created the "grass" by tearing some scraps of olive green card stock and then, sponging them a little with SU Mossy Meadow ink pad.
The Rainbow was made with a die set from a Spellbinders circles, I really wanted to represent every color of the rainbow so the last color was snipped after I traced the outline of the last small circle in this set. I added some
Wink of Stella to the Rainbow to make it shimmer, here is a close up.
I hope you like this card, I sure had fun making it. I thank you so much for visiting and leaving me a comment, I read every single one and they always make my day. If you have any questions about this card, please don't hesitate to ask, I will answer you the best way I can.
Have a wonderful weekend.
Hugs from Maria.
