I was completely inspired by Kathy Racoosin on this card! She took a bundle of 3 flowers and drew a rainbow on them with a pencil, then she colored in each line with a rainbow color (across all the flowers)! Brilliant! Here is my attempt at this technique: Guess who needs green copic markers!?!? Yep, […]

Water Stencil Technique
I cannot stop making rainbow cards! Today I thought I’d try another technique stamping with water to “Bleach” the background a little. I’m using the Ellen Hutson Bold Blooms set and the Avery Elle Fill-In-the-Blanks set (a few of my favorites!) Here’s how it turned out: Doesn’t that look cool how the water just sort […]
Day 5: a Rainbow Burst Sky
I absolutely adored a card made by Jennifer McGuire in Rainbow Maker class today. I didn’t have any glitter embossing paste like she used, so instead I used a sparkly embossing powder. After I finished the rainbow background, I couldn’t bear to cover up the gorgeousness so I used vellum for my images. You can […]
Day 4: Watercolor Smooshing
Today was a great day for the Rainbow Maker Class! I wanted to make every single card that was taught, and I probably still will. But for now I have an Ink Smooshing card inspired by Laura Bassen. I heat embossed the sentiment (from Reverse Confetti) with Ranger Liquid Platinum embossing powder. It is difficult […]

Day 3: Rainbow Die Cuts (Part 4)
And here’s the last rainbow die cut card I made with the negatives. This was way too pretty to let it go to waste, so I turned it into a fun cherry card: Sorry it’s a little hard to read, it says: “You’re all that and a cherry on top!” I have quite a bit […]
Day 3: Rainbow Die Cuts (Part 3)
Of course I couldn’t just throw out the negatives from all that beautiful Rainbow paper! So here’s one of the cards I made using the negative die cut: (See the original card here for the positive die cut piece) Those gem stones are really from my nail kit! Lol. They may be small, but I […]

Here’s my second card for the Rainbow Die cuts! May your days be filled with sunshine,
Day 3: Rainbow Die Cuts
Today we worked on Rainbow Die cuts. Nichole Spohr showed us specifically how to cut strips of paper to use as a rainbow on your card.I started out with this on my desk: OH boy, here we go…this is a bit of work to get all lined up on a base in order to die […]
