Bold Rainbow Stripes

Hey there and welcome. Today I have a super bright and bold card to share. I first created the background using Distress Oxide inks. I wanted to get very clear and crisp lines, so I masked off each section before applying the rainbow colors. I don’t have an orange in Distress Oxide, so I used the normal Distress ink. You can definitely see that the orange part is not that opaque, but I’m okay with that :)  Then I used this beautiful and super intricate background die and 

die cut it from white card stock and adhered it to my inked panel. I then used sparkle embossing powder and heat set it. My card was inspired by a card made by the Pinkfresh Studio DT member Natalia, and I wanted to add my sentiment like the way she did. But a thin black strip seemed to get lost on my bold panel, so I die cut the letters and adhered them. The sparkle is so hard to capture on photos, but it is so pretty in real life, I love it :)

 

 

I hope you like how my card turned out.

 

Thanks for stopping by and keep safe!

 

Hugs,

 

Jinny

Happy Birthday to YOUUUU!

Hello and welcome. I hope all of you are staying safe and well. This time I want to share with you a birthday card.

I wanted to make a OLC, so following the sketch provided by My Favorite Things Challenge I created the front panel.

All the images I colored in using markers. Everything worked out really well and then boom! I accidentally spilled water,  and drops and splatters landed on some balloons at the bottom and on the music conductor bird... But I didn’t want to throw it away, so I paper pieced the damaged images. That accident also caused the markers really bleed through the card stock, so that I had to cut off this panel and adhere it to a top folding note card. Some days can be really tough! And these things naturally happen when you’re almost done :(   Not a ‘real’ OLC anymore, but I am sooo happy that I could fix that :D

 

I hope you like how my card turned out.

 

Thanks for stopping by and keep safe!

 

Hugs,

 

Jinny
