I had SO MUCH FUN with my creation today and I can’t wait to share it with you…

*To check out the full details on how I put together this card and how I created the rainbow background, be sure to check out this video!  (CLICK HERE to view it on You Tube.)

One of my most favorite products is watercolor and all of the really cool affects you can get with them!  This is what I have used throughout the card here from the background to coloring the floral image.

Speaking of floral image, isn’t it gorgeous?!  It not only has this gorgeous floral image, but it has some really awesome quotes to go with it!

For my card, I first started by masking off an area with some purple tape on some paper that was large enough for my floral image.  Then I made the background with some help from a ruler and baby wipes.  I used a stitched rectangle die, added the sentiment at the bottom of my rainbow panel and made some splatters.  I mounted this piece onto an A2 sized top folding black cardstock.

For the image, I had actually started out doing this card in one direction and then totally went a different way.  But the image was stamped with black ink a couple of times over the paper and colored with Aqua Pigments using a water brush.  I cut an entire image of one and attached it over the rainbow background with liquid glue and then I fussy cut just the flowers and popped them up with foam tape over the full image.  I added some of that gorgeous shimmer with the Aqua Pigment and then finished off the design by adding some clear sequins over it.

  3. This is one stunning card, and I loved watching the video of how you created it! All that fussy cutting was well worth it, and I like the added color on the image as opposed to the white. It gives it much more interest against that beautiful rainbow background! I LOVE that sentiment too!
