Happy day, my creative friends!!
Today we are exploring Several Ways to Make a Rainbow and combining them all into this Magical Card!
Check out the video here and follow along:
Our first Rainbow is especially fun!! Using a nesting circle diecut set and a sheet of acetate, Elli created a “stamp” to lay Tombow marker into!
After spritzing with water these inks transfer to the paper in the same order colored!
Check out that vibrant rainbow!! You can use more water or less water to create a more vibrant or pastel , rainbow!!
Once it has dried, brush over a cloud stencil to create a fun foreground!
Now let’s try that same technique in a new way!
Taking the Kaleidacolor “Calypso” rainbow inkpad- shmear it on your craft mat!
Spritz with water and lay Kromekote paper over it- it will absorb into this beautiful watercolor-like rainbow!
Now we’ll color in a background rainbow!
Using the same Tombow markers, scribble in the rainbow on the far left of the cardbase- this will be mostly hidden so let yourself get messy! I added extra dots, splatters, and sparkle marks to mine!
Feel free to add these same embellishments to the watercolor-like background we just made!
Here’s the final stamping step- A happy sentiment!!
I love this stamp in the rainbow ink pad- it makes me So Happy!!
If you’d like a little more POP to your rainbow- add a backing of pop-dots!!
This lets the front Rainbow stand out a little more!
And Taa-Daa a rainbow card with a handful of different techniques and So Much Fun!!
We hope you had as much fun making this card as we did!!
Thanks for creating with us today!
This beautiful card and fun techniques will have a Craft Station all week at Art and Happiness!
If you’re making this card after June 1st and want more hands-on guidance, just let us know!
Happy crafting, friends!!
