Well I may be able to create cards with, in some cases, a few being pretty good, there is no way I can call myself an artist based on my painting skills. On this card I hand created the rainbow effect in the background but the result isn’t what I expected. That said, it works for behind the focal part so I have used it here. I did add some sparkle to it before adding the circle. The sentiment used is from an older GKD set and the focal image is from a free digi stamp that I had saved on my computer and never used until now. I chose not to colour the entire image but instead just colour the paint brushes and the palette, kind of like a spotlight technique. The bling is from my stash. I forgot to cut the panel down so I could add a border behind it so I went around the edges with a sponge the same as I did on the die cut circle.
Thanks for looking and hope you all have an excellent weekend.

Lovely! The rainbow works well behind the image. I like the spotlight technique in coloring a portion of the image.

Being an artist goes way beyond painting. I would say you are definitely an artist when it comes to creating cards. Your rainbow background turned out great. I’d say you really nailed the challenge.
