sunshine and rainbows

With a twist of rainbows being the latest challenge at CYHTP and a sentiment being focal for Word Power, this card works for both challenges. I used a tutorial from Natasha Foote to make my background.

As I still had two pieces of a photo my hubby discarded I decided to use them by cutting them into half inch strips and then weaving them. Once I had them stuck down I trimmed the panel and added it to the white card front. Then using a scrap piece of white I stamped the sentiment, and the sun rays, both from Concord and 9th and heat embossed clear. The embossing is from a small folder that came with my mini die cutter – brand We R. I then used my Hero Arts oval infinity dies to cut and went round it with a sponge and Chipped Sapphire ink. I used one of the smaller ovals to cut the sun ray piece as well. I attached the two together, added some foam to the back and then glued the lot to the woven piece. The gem sticker, which I’ve had forever in my stash, and never used, was added at the bottom. On the photo it looks a bit lost, but in reality it shows better. The photo here makes everything look a little darker than it does in my craft room lighting.

Thanks for stopping by, I appreciate you, your time and any comments you may leave.

  6. Really unique background, and that texture on the sentiment really makes is stand out nicely. Great card, thanks for sharing with us at Can You Handle the Pressure!
