The Challenge is back! Yes, that's right--we're back! We'll be bringing you a new challenge each and every Thursday. This week's challenge is an inspiration challenge based on this fabulous rainbow themed photo.
Just like in the inspiration photo, I had to make a rainbow the star of my card. My rainbow is watercolored with the help of the Rainbow Cutting Plate from Taylored Expressions. I used the plate to make a cardstock template, then used stencil brushes to fill in the bands of color. After filling in the bands, I blended them with an aqua brush. So pretty!To bring in the fluffy cloud element from the photo, I die cut a stitched cloud panel from shimmery white cardstock. The "you make me happy when skies are gray" sentiment from TE's C'mon Get Happy stamp set was stamped on the cloud in gray pigment ink. I placed the cloud at the bottom of the panel using foam tape, then matted the panel on sparkly silver cardstock. The finished panel was adhered to a soft blue card base.
Check out what the rest of the talented team at The Challenge has created based on this week's inspiration photo. Here's where to find them:
