This week’s challenge at Global Design Project is a theme: rain/rainbow. I used New Horizons Designer Paper to create a rainbow (literally) in the sky. 

I began with a watercolored scene, 5 1/4″ X 4″, glued to a Thick Basic White card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″.

Rainbow Wishes

The New Horizons paper is so gorgeous, I’m saving every little scrap, which I used for the lettering. I cut the word “rainbow” with Playful Alphabet Dies from 1″ (approximately) pieces of designer paper, adhered to Foam Adhesive Sheets.

After running the letters through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine, I carefully removed them from the dies, peeled the backing, and adhered them to the card front in an arch.

All that remained was the sentiment, which I found in the Special Moments Stamp Set. I masked “best,” and stamped “wishes” in Memento Black Ink on New Horizons DSP. Then, I used a Stitched So Sweetly Die for cutting, attached it with Dimensionals, and my “Rainbow Wishes” card was complete.
