Rainbow Maker Day 1


Someday soon I will go back and try to re-create Laura Fadora's rainbow grid card, but for now, this is my take. It did not turn out anything like hers (maybe I should have watched the video again!) but I kind of liked the way the distress oxide inks ended up looking like watercoloring. I added some dry embossing to give it texture in the absence of the grid pattern, and sprayed it lightly with shimmer. Last, I added a few liquid crystal drops. I find I'm getting spoiled and really don't like using my older rubber stamps, but they do the trick!

Rainbow Maker Day 2


Still going backwards and catching up with the Online Card Class from last week. I was a little daunted by Jennifer McGuire's card at first, since measurements were involved (!) but it was amazingly simple. I used a combination of Gina K and Stampin Up inks to get the rainbow colors, and since I didn't have a stamp large enough to fill up the center, I decided to hand letter with a rough, old-style look to match the scribbly hearts. This card was fun and really, really fast despite measuring and penciling grid lines!
