Hello! Hope everyone is having a great week. My younger son is on spring break this week so we have been trying to get out and about. In between those little trips I have managed to create a card. This one is for... yep... Color Throwdown and Freshly Made Sketches! Take a look:
I really love the Rainbow of Happiness bundle from Stampin Up! It is just so fun. I have been wanting to make another card with it and the above-mentioned challenges were the perfect vehicle. I found sequins in the CTD colors for my shaker rainbow. Since there are only three colors in the CTD combo and there are four arches in the rainbow I added in some iridescent sequins in the fourth arch. After cutting out my rainbow from white cardstock I decided to add some interest by embossing it with the April Spellbinder embossing folder. I love the fun sunray effect it gives the panel. I trimmed down an acetate piece and adhered it behind the openings. Then I added strips of foam adhesive. I carefully filled each section of the rainbow with the sequins. Not gonna lie... this took along time! Because I knew it wouldn't be easy to adhere the shaker element to the card base I opted to add some patterned paper to the back. I used patterned paper from Stampin Up! that coordinates with the Rainbow of Happiness bundle and I used that. I finished off the card with some twine tied around the top of my shaker element and the sentiment from the set stamped in black ink and die cut with a banner die.
Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day!
