Hello! Popping in with a rainbow inspired card for a couple of challenges: the Paper Players and Fab Friday. The were no rainbows today in my part of the world even though there was a lot of rain! But, that didn't stop me from creating this fun rainbow card! I had made a card the other day and decided to use a stencil on it. I went through all my stencils and found some rainbow themed stencils from PaperTrey Ink's Make it Market mini kits. I paired a stencil with a heart in the center and the rays coming out from it with a stamp and die from the mini kit. I started my card by masking off the rays on the stencil and inking up the heart with Candied Apple distress oxide ink. I then determined how many rays I wanted to be each color and inked them up in rainbow order starting with orange. I used the following distress oxide inks: Spiced Marmalade, Squeezed Lemonade, Lucky Clover, Salty Ocean, Chipped Sapphire, and Wilted Violet. When I was finished with the main rays I inked up the smaller rays in the same order. I then die cut the piece with an AJVD basic rectangle and some dark gray cardstock with the same die so I could layer the two per the Fab Friday sketch. I then die cut the word sunshine from patterned paper that is part of the mini kit four times and layering them together. The rest of the sentiment was stamped in VersaMark watermark ink on vellum and embossed with black embossing powder from WOW! I adhered the vellum strip to the main panel and then adhered the die cut word. Popped everything up on a white cardstock base. 
Thanks for stopping by and have a wondeful day!

Such a fun card, all around Rosemary! I especially love the slight tilt on the layers. That's a great detail. Thanks so much for joining us this week at The Paper Players!
