Hello Crafters!
I'm over on the WPlus9 Blog today sharing this super fun rainbow card. I'm always all about trying to put a rainbow on a card ya'll.
I started by tracing my hexagon die onto a white card panel with a pencil. You'll want to use the outside of the die so that when we die cut it for the frame later this line is hidden. I then colored in my rainbow using my copic markers.
When picking colors to blend together make sure you are looking at the last number on your copic. I tend to stick in the 2-3-4 range because I like bright colors. However, there are exceptions. You can easily blend a YR04 with a Y08 even though the numbers are so far apart. Yellows tend to be the outlier.
Once my rainbow was done I set it aside so I could stamp out my images. I also colored these little guys up with copics. I chose purple for my balloon because my giraffe is yellow. Those two are complimentary colors so I knew they'd work well as a focal point together.
After they were colored I fussy but them out so I wouldn't have the white line. I chose to do this so the white from my die cuts wouldn't detract from the whites of my clouds.
You can see the entire card come together in the video below.
I just really love how happy this card is. The whole feel of it is just joyous and that makes my heart go pitter patter ya'll. Plus, the giraffe is adorable right?!
Thanks so much for stopping by!

Poor Molly, whe never trimmed the dogs nails. But I must say that he walked equal on sidewalk tiles, concrete and grass, so it wasn't necessary.
ReplyDeleteYour card is adorable, I love how you made the background interesting by die cut a hexagon and put the rainbow in it, great colouring of the balloon and the sweet giraffe.
Thank you so much for showing and give Molly a hug from me.
Sorry for delay in replying to how fabulously cute your card design is, I've been in hospital. Loving how effortless you made that look. Dogs nail cutting, we have a large black Labrador who hates his nails even looked at, we end up tag teaming him. My partner or I get the slippers & the other one of us ends up feeding him bits of treats till the job is done. There is a gadget out now that you pop over their paw & it cuts & buffs but it's too small for our Labrador. Maybe look into it xc
