rainbow colored rain!
the latest Lawn Fawnatics Challenge has me reveling in my rainbow obsession! I LOVE IT! ha ha!
today I have this card up on the Lawn Fawnatics Challenge blog!
loooooooove it!
I used the cloud images from Plane and Simple and colored them in with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers! then I heat embossed the sentiment onto a strip of grey cardstock, and coordinated that with a strop of grey washi on the side! I KNOW I KNOW! not black and white, but I thought the black would be too distracting from that gorgeous rain! lol!
oh, yes, the rain!
I tinted embossing paste with lots of rainbow colored Distress Oxide Inks and then used a rain drop stencil! sooooo pretty!

happy new year!
let's ring it in with some fun and a NEW challenge over at the Lawn Fawnatics Challenge blog!
this time...it's rainbows guys...RAINBOWS!!!!!!
ha! so here's what I made:
well if that doesn't say rainbow, I'm not sure what does! LOL!
I used the new Happy Village stamp set, and just stamped everything in black ink! I made sure to mask the edges of some of the houses, so they looked cohesive.
for the background, I did lots and lots of watercolor layering with various Distress Inks. Lots of layers! once one layer would dry, I would do the same smooshing technique in the same colors on top! and it looks awesome! ha!
to finish off the card, I flicked some shimmer from my Spectrum Noir Clear Glitter Pen, and it really shines against that background!
oh, i really can't WAIT for you to play along! you could win a $25 gift certificate to Lawn Fawn!!!!
enjoy!
