Rainbows and Sunshine

I had to do some online shopping and buy this cute rainbow stamp from Concord and 9th and then I had to make a card - well actually I am making eith cards because right now people need a few rainbows and sunshine. 

The sketch from Paper Players this weeks worked out perfectly for using elements from my new stamp and die set.

Here is the sketch.

I first stamped the rainbow with Gina K Inks.  I went with a pastel rainbow rather than a bright primary colored rainbow.  I then stamped the sentiment on the rainbow and die cut this element out.  I matted it with a coordinating color from the rainbow.  I added color of my mat with one of the inks from the rainbow.  (I do have a problem with plain white backgrounds.)  I matted this piece with a coordinating color of card stock.  I also stamped the black x's in the lower left corner.  The last thing I did was die cut the sun out of gold mirror card stock.  I then layered everything on a white card base.

I really do like how this card turned out.  I am glad I was able to get the stamp and coordinating dies.  I will brighten 8 people's mail in the upcoming weeks.

Thanks for stopping by.
