SOS 441: The rainbow connection

Awww, I just think of sweet little Kermit singing that song.  This fortnight at Shopping Our Stash, the team is encouraging you to dig into your stash to create a rainbow-inspired feast for the eyes.

Here's my birthday card:



Supplies:

  • Artist's Loft watercolor paper (it's great for stamping because it is inexpensive and therefore thinner and it is also smooth.)
  • Ken Oliver Color Bursts in a rainbow of colors!  I've had these for a few years.
  • Rubbernecker Mini Distressed Squares Background stamp purchased 3 years ago at the Sacramento Stamp Expo.
  • Above-said stamp inked with Ranger Letter It embossing ink and embossed with a pearly EP from a Recollections, both from over three years ago.
  • Thickers from 2015.  I used a ruler taped to my craft mat to have even angles for the words-- I did it just right but in these pictures look not so  
  • Iridescent red gem stickers by DCWV from 2013... never used this pack!
  • Turquoise card cut from some bulk Bazzill paper I need to use up! I cut it to fit a yellow envelope I  have had since I started cardmaking.  I need to do this more often because I think it is fun to send colorful envelopes-- I usually do white or kraft.

Thanks for visiting.  Have a bright week!

  2. Absolutely gob stopping gorgeous!!! I have colorburst but it sure doesn't look like that when I'm done. It's just rainbow perfect. And the HB looks perfect to me.

  4. This is awesome! I love all the yummy texture. I rarely use my Colorburst. You have shown me why I should use it more often. Fabulous!

  6. Ohh!! Mimi, your card is gorgeous, those colors are amazing!!!
    Every time I see a card background created with Color Bursts I get the itch to try it but always fall short, I haven't even bought a set, but I think your card is given me the push I needed to just get them, thanks my dear.
    The sentiment is beautiful too, awesome job!!
