Hello and happy February!
This month there is a new theme over at Country View Challenges and it´s called "Be sentimental", hosted by the lovely Jane.
I made a rainbow-coloured birthday card, inspired by @fraupony.
This is what I did:
First I grabbed some of my (millions of...) leftover scraps and coloured them in rainbow order with Distress Inks. I also tried out Oxides, but I liked the more vibrant look of the Inks.
Next I took a flower die - I have it for a long time, don´t know, which brand it is - and diecut a bunch of flowers from all colours
Look, how beautiful they are!
I cut a cardbase and a topper from white cardstock and embossed the topper with a folder from sizzix. It´s also very old, I don´t know if it is retired.
The edges I distressed with Distress Oxide hickory smoke.
I added some splatters in some of the colours I used to ink my papers for the flowers.
Now it was time to arrange the flowers on my card. I glued the topper to my card, using some foam tape, then I layered the flowers in a flow and glued them down.
I found some gemstones in rainbow colours and glued some of them on my card.
Last I added the sentiment "Happy Birthday" that I diecut with a cheap die from a Dollar store.
I had much fun making this card!
