you're my rainbow on a cloudy day

hello!
today I have this happy and encouraging card up on the Lawn Fawnatics Challenge blog!

the current challenge is all about rainbows - my favorite!!
I started by stamping and coloring the images from Beary Rainy Day, All the Clouds and My Rainbow. I added lots of details with a white gel pen, and then used the coordinating dies to die cut them out! I already loved making this card because the images are so bright and happy!

I used the aqua cardstock from the Rainbow Pack Cardstock and the green Cilantro cardstock for the scene.
then I used Distress Inks in Blueprint Sketch, Peacock Feathers and Salvaged Patina to add some dimension to the sky.
I used Distress Inks in Pine Needles and Mowed Lawn for the grass!
I die cut out the grass with Stitched Hillside Borders and the Grassy Borders die.
then I used the Rainy Sky Stencil and some white embossing paste to add fun texture and the rain!

part of the sentiment was heat embossed in white onto Black Licorice Cardstock and then cut into banners.
the 'rainbow' part of the sentiment was heat embossed in white onto vellum, and then die cut with the Stitched Sentiment Banners. then I used my markers to color in the letters (on the back of the vellum) in a rainbow pattern.

be sure to check out the card up on the Lawn Fawnatics Challenge blog and play along with this fun challenge!
enjoy!
