Rainbow thanks

• Lawn fawn- louie’s ABCs dies
• SU!- simply wonderful stamp
• Tim holtz distress ink pads- festive berries, candied apples, carved pumpkin, fossilised amber, mustard seed, mowed lawn, peacock feathers, salty ocean, shaded lilac & dusty concord
• Watercolour cardstock
• Black cardstock
• Black funky foam
• Archival ink pad- jet black
• Landscape dl cardblank

I cut a piece of white card stock to the size of my card and used the ink pads to create a rainbow background. I used a lot of colours to get a smooth blend but you don’t need to. I then lined up the alphabet dies onto the background and cut, keeping all the pieces. I stamped the sentiment underneath. I trimmed the background down and layered onto a matt of black cardstock, then glued to the card blank. To add depth, I die cut the same letters from foam and glued them into the gaps on the background, topped with the saved cardstock pieces. I love how simple but effective this card is.

I created a background by stamping the trees and colouring with copics. I then masked the trees and inked the card blank blue. I die cut a frame to fit the card. For the sentiment, I stamped the banner, positioned the sentiment inside and die cut into the banner. Finally, I took the winnie the pooh and die cut him from white cardstock as a base layer. I then die cut the relevant pieces from coloured cardstock and paper pieced onto the base layer. I used my copics to add shading to the banner and pooh bear, as well as colouring the bee. I added the lines on the honey pot and face with the sakura micron pen. I glued down all the pieces onto the card blank, using foam to add dimension and finished off with glazing to the nose and glitter on the bees wings.

• lawn fawn lawn cuts - small cross- stitched rectangle stackables & small cross- stitched circle stackables
• HOTP patterned paper
• vellum

I cut the white glitter card to fill the front of my card blank and gutted it. I then added a matt of patterned paper which I had die cut using the stitched edge. I cut a circle of vellum using one of the stitched edge dies. I also die cut the sentiments from white glitter cardstock. For the image, I stamped the presents onto several different papers, which coordinated with the background matt. I then fussy cut these out and paper pieced them together, to give the effect of different wrapping on each of the presents. I then assembled all of the pieces onto the card blank, following the sketch layout and glued down to complete the card.
