Rainbow streamers!

Hello Pink and Main friends. It’s Donna here, freezing in Australia! Not the image that my country normally has, but we’re frosty here at the moment in southern Australia! I hope my baby plants survive! I have a pair of cards today that feature the same background, but with very different colour schemes. Which one do you prefer?

Let’s start with the background. The die that I used for these cards is probably designed to use vertically, not horizontally, since the name is Making Waves Cover Die. It will be a super fun wave die for a future card, but for today, I’m using it sideways as streamers. I cut the die twice from white cardstock, and used my copics to colour a rainbow on each piece. The brighter rainbow uses mid tone markers ( the last numbers on my copics were pretty much all 5s), and for the pastel card, I coloured using 00 markers, such as R00, which are super light and subtle. Using tiny dots of glue, I adhered these to the background cards, one black, and one white.

I then got on with the fronts. This bright card was made using some of the great new foiling products. The heart comes from the Happy Birthday Foilable kit, and I foiled this using Streaks Rainbow Cheerfoil, which is such a fun cheerful design. The “just for you’ comes from the Valentine’s Foilable Kit, and I foiled this in gold.

The softer card has the March Pup as the feature. I stamped this and coloured it with my Copic markers. I also stamped the Yappy Birthday sentiment from the same stamp set, and mounted that on some green shimmer cardstock to help it stand out against the pale background. I popped up all the elements of the cards with foam tape for dimension, and the cards were done!

Waves to streamers! I love stretching my crafting supplies to get new designs. How about you?

Until next time, may your days be bright.

Blessings,

Donna
